A shocking incident unfolded at a Georgetown guest house early Tuesday morning, resulting in the deaths of two employees in what authorities are investigating as a murder-suicide. The tragedy occurred at an establishment on Lime Street between approximately 5:00 AM and 8:15 AM, according to the Guyana Police Force.
The victims have been identified as 31-year-old Loriann, who worked as a housekeeper, and 36-year-old Cyril Saul, employed as a security guard at the same facility. Police investigations revealed that both individuals were the sole staff members on duty during the overnight shift when the incident occurred.
Law enforcement officials disclosed that the two had previously been involved in a romantic relationship that reportedly ended approximately two months prior to the tragic event. Responding officers discovered the woman lying motionless in one of the rooms with visible injuries, while the man was found unresponsive in a separate area of the premises.
A medical professional from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation pronounced both victims dead at the scene. Investigators have secured multiple items as evidence, including a firearm, ammunition, a knife, and a quantity of suspected controlled substances. CCTV footage from the property has been reviewed and forms a crucial component of the ongoing investigation.
The police statement noted that several individuals have been contacted and questioned as part of the investigative process. The bodies have been transported to the Memorial Funeral Parlour Mortuary where they await post-mortem examinations to determine the exact causes of death.
