MURDER SUICIDE IN AUGUST TOWN

The police are investigating a suspected case of murder-suicide in August Town, St. Andrew.

The bodies of Kyron Beckles and his wife Althea, both 40 years old, were discovered Friday morning after a neighbour reported to the police that calls to the couple went unanswered.

Inspector Stephen Taylor, in charge of the August Town police division, told RJR News that the bodies were discovered in a room at the couple’s house.

The woman, who appeared to be strangled, was seen lying on a bed with her hands across her chest. Mr. Beckles, on the other hand, was found with electrical cord around his neck and tied to a closet.

Inspector Taylor said it is believed the man strangled his wife then hanged himself.

Mrs Beckles, who resided overseas, had only this week returned to Jamaica for a surprise visit to her husband.
