Investigation continues into demise of Kuru Kururu couple
A day after the bodies of Malika Hale, a 34-year-old chef, and her partner Alwyin Bleacher, a 48-year-old farmer, both of Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway were found in their home, an autopsy was conducted and has added to the confusion surrounding the couple’s death.
Dead: 34-year-old Malika Hale.
Initial reports suggested the couple were in a heated argument around 20:00 hours on Monday over Bleacher’s stabbing of their thirteen-year-old son, an act for which he was charged and remanded to prison, and had only recently been released.
It was said that the couple who were together for some fourteen years, had argued for quite some time and were found dead with multiple stab wounds about their body on Tuesday morning by their eldest child.
Persons who responded to calls for help from the couple’s children after the gruesome discovery, said the bodies lay across a bed. The woman was lying on her back with her shirt open, exposing her upper body. There was blood around her neck, cheek and chest area.
The man’s body lay on its side with the two feet across the woman’s tummy area. No blood was seen on the bed around the man’s body and very little was on the woman’s.
The house where the couple was found
The autopsy report revealed that Hale received some 23 stab wounds about her body, with ten of those being around the region of the neck, heart and lungs. Bleacher’s body bore 26 stab wounds, with four of those being incised wounds that perforated the neck, heart and lungs.
The investigation is ongoing.
