Husband pulled trigger in Sarah Johanna murder-suicide – Police source

…autopsy shows couple shot at close range

The post-mortem performed on the bodies of 25-year-old Nicholas Low-A-Chee and his wife, Elizabeth Low-A-Chee, confirmed that they both died from gunshot injuries and more so, they were shot at close range.

The autopsies were performed by Government Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh, who indicated that the husband sustained one gunshot injury to the head while the wife was shot once to the head and once to the abdomen.
However, a source close to investigations stated that from all indications, the husband was the one who pulled the trigger. “It is impossible for the woman to pull the trigger… she was the one who was shot twice… it is clear that she was shot to the abdomen first then to the head, above her right eye,” the source related.
Homicide detectives are working with the theory that after shooting his wife, the man turned to the gun to himself and pulled the trigger.
While there are speculations that he might have been under the influence of alcohol when he committed the act, they cannot confirm.
The relatives are still looking for answers since they claimed that the couple who tied the knot in August last lived a happy life.
In addition, the relatives are furious about a report in a section of the media that claimed that the young man was involved in the illicit drug trade and as such, the couple was murdered after a drug deal went wrong.
The couple was found by a relative on Tuesday morning with gunshot wounds to their bodies.
They were last seen alive on Sunday, but based on the state of the bodies, detectives believe that they might have been dead for more than 24 hours. They were found in a blood-soaked bed with a gun suspected to be the weapon used to commit the acts.
Three .32 spent shells were found in the bedroom – one on the bed, one on the floor and the other about six feet from the man’s body. A .32 pistol was also found two feet east of his left hand. The gun was reportedly registered to his father who died a few years ago.
Further, a quantity of suspected cannabis – which when weighed amounted to 370 grams – was found in the couple’s room. The young man is expected to be buried on Sunday.
