posted (September 18, 2017)
And police don't have any concrete answers at this point either. They say they have to wait on the post mortem and other key elements in this investigation before they move forward.

ACP Joseph Myvette, Head, NCIB
"Starting with the first incident which occurred on Friday night, which is a death investigation. Police responded to a call at the Triple A offices on the Phillip Goldson highway, where upon arrival police observed the bodies of two persons who were later identified as Delsie Olivia Smith 50 years and Robert Godfrey 66 years, both with gunshot injuries. Ms. Smith had an apparent gunshot injury to the right temple while Mr. Godfrey had an apparent gunshot injury to the left side of head."

"It is a death investigation and it remains open while police do their investigation. Certainly a part of the investigation will be determined by the outcome of the post mortem whilst other forensic parts of the investigation will determine how far we go in relation to this investigation."

A .38 revolver was found on the scene and police are still working on confirming if it belonged to Godfrey.
