Bizarre Murder/Suicide In Guyana

"Georgetown, Guyana - The turbulent relationship of a West Coast Demerara couple ended tragically yesterday when Alfred Etwaroo murdered his wife of 14 years then hanged himself in their home, which was also occupied by their three young children.

"Kathleen Mo-A-Lin, 30, was found with a gaping wound at the back of her head and her lips sealed with some heavy-duty glue. She was discovered lying just under the hanging body of her 39-year-old husband in their partially completed home at Under-neeming, Parfait Harmonie, WCD.

"Neighbours said the couple, who only recently moved in with their three children, hardly said anything to anyone except to extend the usual courtesies.

"Relatives on the other hand, remember the two as having had issues almost from the day they were married.

"Yesterday morning..., residents pointed to the unfinished concrete house where the couple resided with their three children aged six, seven and 11 years old. They said the couple and children stayed to themselves and on many occasions they would see the children playing in the yard but they always remained there.

"Many residents said they had heard of the tragedy only minutes before...

"`People in here keep to themselves and they were newcomers so we people ain’t really know them very much,` one woman said.

"Details as to exactly who made the discovery were sketchy but Etwaroo’s body, swinging from a beam in the roof, was visible from the road."
