Po­lice be­lieve the mur­ders of a 17-year-old school girl and her broth­er in New Grant last evening were do­mes­tic-re­lat­ed.

Shenelle Singh and Ke­ston Singh, 21, were found with mul­ti­ple chop wounds at a premis­es at Naggee Road. Po­lice are search­ing for the own­er.

Shenelle, a stu­dent of Ma­yaro Sec­ondary had gone to vis­it her broth­er yes­ter­day be­cause she had no school. Par­ents had protest­ed in front of the school that morn­ing over the lack of fur­ni­ture in the class­rooms and poor con­di­tions at the school. The teen lived with her moth­er in Ma­yaro.

Po­lice re­ceived an anony­mous call around 7 pm of a woman ly­ing mo­tion­less at Naggee Road.

When of­fi­cers ar­rived about 15 min­utes lat­er, they found Shenelle’s bloody body on the east­ern side of the road.

She was ly­ing on her stom­ach with chop wounds to the left side of her face. The of­fi­cers fol­lowed a blood trail to a 12 x 12 wood­en house with a gal­va­nized roof about ten feet away where they found her broth­er slumped over a couch on the front porch with chop wounds to the neck.

Of­fi­cers of the E999, Table­land and Princes Town Po­lice Sta­tions as well as Homi­cide Bu­reau Re­gion 3 vis­it­ed the scene and In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
