Autopsies will be performed tomorrow on the bodies of Nicholas Low-a-Chee and Elizabeth Sasha Low-a-Chee, the couple who were discovered dead in their Sarah Johanna, East Bank Demerara (EBD) home following a suspected murder/suicide.
Deputy Director of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Corporate Communications Unit, Stan Gouveia yesterday made this disclosure while stating that the pathologist is currently in Mahdia, Region 8.
The autopsies were initially scheduled to be conducted yesterday.
The couple of Lot 1-3 Sarah Johanna, EBD was last seen by neighbours on Sunday at around 10am.
The discovery was made on Tuesday morning by an uncle of Nicholas.
After numerous calls to Nicholas went unanswered, at around 7.30am Tuesday, an individual who is known to the family informed relatives that something was amiss as the back door to the couple’s home was open.
An uncle upon investigating ventured into the house and called out for Nicholas but got no response. This led him to proceed further into the house, in the direction of the bedroom. As the man walked up to the bedroom he started getting a foul scent.
As he pushed open the door to the bedroom, he stumbled upon the bodies of Elizabeth and Nicholas Low-A-Chee, in pools of blood on the bed and floor respectively.
The uncle also observed what appeared to be a handgun, about two feet east of Nicholas’s body.
Elizabeth’s body had what appeared to be gunshot injuries, one above her right eye and another in her abdomen, while the body of Nicholas Low-A-Chee was found with what appeared to be a gunshot wound just above his left ear and another to the right side of his temple in what are suspected to be points of entry and exit.
The coupled tied the knot in August, 2021 after being together for more than five years.
