–    Murder-suicide suspected

Police were last night probing a suspected murder-suicide after the bodies of a young couple, with gunshot wounds, were found at around 22:00 hrs in a car at Pearl, East Bank Demerara.
Relatives identified the victims as Vijay Arjune called ‘Kevin’, 23, an auto electrician, of 4 Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara, and Priya Ragoo, 20, of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara.
Kaieteur News understands that Arjune was found slumped in the driver’s seat of the white rented car, PNN 9189, with a bullet wound to the body and a handgun near to his right leg, with Ragoo slumped in the front passenger seat.
According to reports, Arjune had returned from Suriname a few days ago and the couple was planning to get married. However, there are reports that Ragoo was pregnant and that the family of the victims had planned to call off the wedding.
Arjune’s parents told Kaieteur News that they had expected him to return home at around 16:00 hrs, and became worried after failing repeatedly to reach him on his mobile phone. Ragoo’s relatives also reportedly attempted to reach her without success.
The young man’s parents launched a search for him, and at around 22:00 hrs, they eventually spotted the vehicle that he had rented, parked in a desolate area near Pearl Village, on the East Bank Demerara Public Road.
Relatives then looked inside and saw the dead couple.
Up to 00:37 hrs today, police were still scouring the cordoned-off scene for clues and porters from the Lyken Funeral Parlour who turned up were still to remove the bodies.
