PM on Crane murder-suicide victims set for tomorrow

The post-mortem examinations of the three victims of last Saturday’s murder/suicide are expected to be conducted tomorrow.

Simon Bodhoo, 61, of Lot 18 Crane Housing Scheme West Coast Demerara poisoned his two children 12-year-old Samuel Boodhoo and six-year-old Krystal Boodhoo, before hanging himself. On Saturday, Loren Banarsee, reputed wife of the dead man and mother of the children, returned home from work and made the gruesome discovery. She told Stabroek News that when she returned home at 4:15 pm, she was greeted by an unusual silence after which, she entered one of the bedroom’s in the house where she observed her reputed husband hanging from the roof while the two children were lying on the bed frothing.

Barnarsee said she expected to be able to bury her dead husband and children on Friday.
