Guyanese woman killed in New Jersey murder/suicide

Oct 22, 2014 News

Belleville, New Jersey (nj.com) — A man and woman are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in Belleville, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said Saturday.
Police discovered the bodies of John Sykes, 47, and Felicia Hunt, 23, in a home on New
Street around 6:30 p.m. Friday, according to the prosecutor’s office. Officers were called to the residence to check on Sykes after he didn’t show up for work.
“As the officers peered in a window they observed a male and female lying dead,” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
Sykes apparently killed Hunt before taking his own life, Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Chief of Detectives Anthony Ambrose said.
The two lived together at the house and “appeared” to be involved in a relationship, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Autopsies were pending and the Essex County Homicide Task Force was investigating.
Authorities did not immediately provide additional details.
Indications are that the woman is a Guyanese from the West Bank of Demerara.
