The police were last night pursuing investigations into a suspected murder/suicide involving Cubans living on Station Street, Kitty.
According to neighbours, the relationship between the couple, a 25-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man, had deteriorated in recent days. Witnesses reported that the man stabbed the woman in the yard before retreating inside the house, where he subsequently took his own life.
Residents noted that the couple had moved to the area less than a month ago and had little interaction with neighbours, primarily due to language differences.
The authorities are investigating.
