Kaieteur News- The decomposing remains of a woman and her daughter, 13, were on Wednesday afternoon found by her husband inside their rented home at New Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
Police identified them as 38-year-old Petrous Latchman-Ross and Gabrielle Ross.
The woman’s husband, Hemanchal Latchman a 58-year-old mechanic, told police that he found them dead around 14:00hrs.
Latchman reportedly said that he had moved out of the house last September after he and his wife had parted ways but continued to pay the rent and make visits.
The man claimed that he had last seen his family alive in January this year. He decided to visit yesterday to check up on them. Latchman alleged that after calling out for them several times and getting no response, he became suspicious and broke open the door with the help of a neighbour.
A strong stench, he said, came out of the house as soon as they entered and when they ventured in a little further he saw the decomposing remains of his wife and daughter lying on the floor.
Police were reportedly called in immediately and crime scene detectives found three plastic bottles and one glass bottle containing liquid substances along with two cups next to their bodies. Two other small glass containers with whitish substances were also found in the refrigerator and a note was recovered from the living room.
Blood samples were taken from the remains to test for poisonous substances before removal by undertakers to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home.
Investigation continues.
