In a heart-wrenching incident that has left the community of Siparia in shock, UNC councillor Romona Victor and her common-law husband Rodney Ramsumair were found dead in their home on Sunday. The police have classified the case as a murder-suicide, with Ramsumair allegedly killing Victor before taking his own life. The discovery was made by Victor’s father, Francis Victor, who described the scene as harrowing and deeply traumatic. Francis revealed that he had long feared for his daughter’s safety due to the volatile nature of her relationship with Ramsumair, which had been marked by frequent conflicts and reconciliations. Romona, known for her dedication to her constituents, had a private life fraught with challenges. Autopsies confirmed that she died from blunt force trauma to the neck, while Ramsumair succumbed to poisoning. The tragedy has prompted condolences from political leaders, including Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles. Ramsumair’s father has proposed a joint funeral, though the Victor family has yet to decide on the matter. The incident underscores the devastating consequences of domestic violence and the urgent need for intervention in troubled relationships.
