A woman and her teenage daughter are dead after they were allegedly beaten with a baseball bat by the woman’s boyfriend, who committed suicide after the alleged attack yesterday, said Guam Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Aurelio Espinola yesterday.
Espinola said the woman and her daughter died of skull fractures.
The man committed suicide by slitting his left wrist in the "apparent murder-suicide," said Espinola, who performed the autopsies on the three bodies.
Police are investigating the incident, which occurred early yesterday at a house along Wusstig Road in Dededo. GPD spokesman Officer Allan Guzman said the incident was still classified as a "death investigation."
Police didn’t release the ages, identities or genders of the bodies as of 5 p.m. yesterday. Espinola said he only had approximate ages of the girl and the woman — 13 and 30, respectively. All three bodies were found in a bedroom, he said.
The house belongs to Anthony Miner, who lives there with his girlfriend and at least three children, said a family friend. Police wouldn’t confirm details.
