The death of an elderly couple in Lami indicates an alleged murder-suicide case

Early investigation into the death of an elderly couple in Lami indicates a case of an alleged murder-suicide.

The couple was found by their son lying motionless in their room this morning.

Police says information gathered so far from the victim’s family indicates a strong possibility of the case being classified as an alleged murder-suicide.

Police have stressed they will be in a better position to comment more on the case, following a post mortem examination.

This will also include technical advice from the RFMF as they were called in to inspect a firearm found at the crime scene.

Isikeli Ratu who lives in the same area told FBC News he has known the couple for over 13 years and is still in shock.

Ratu says they were surprised to see police officers in the area this morning because it’s generally quiet.

Investigation continues.
