Murder-suicide is suspected in the deaths of a UNC local government councillor and her common-law husband.The couple was found dead at their Coora Road, Siparia home on Sunday afternoon by the woman’s father who went to visit them.
Autopsies conducted on Monday concluded councillor Romona Victor died due to blunt force trauma to the neck and head, while her husband Rodney Ramsumair died from ingesting a poisonous substance.
As our reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh tells us, a handwritten note and a bottle of herbicide were recovered in the home, and relatives of the councillor described the couple’s relationship as one that had a lot of “pulling and tugging.”
00:00It's a warning issued many times, but one Francis Victor desperately hoped would never prove true for his daughter.
00:16Unfortunately, on Sunday afternoon, he made the horrific discovery of her decomposing body alongside that of her common-law husband.
00:25Two-term serving UNC local government councillor for Separia East San Francisco South, 36-year-old Ramona Victor, was found dead next to the body of her husband, 45-year-old Rodney Ramsumay, on a bed inside their home on Sunday afternoon. Police suspect it was a murder-suicide.
00:45On Monday morning, councillor Victor's parents spoke with TV6 News at their Separia home.
00:55It wasn't nice. It wasn't nice. It wasn't nice. It wasn't nice. It wasn't nice sight at all.
01:05All I can do is stay in the house and fall.
01:08If you're a dead girl, if you're dead, you're a tall man will kill you.
01:14The councillor was last seen alive by a resident around 7.30pm on Friday, near to her Queenam Branch Road, Koura Road, Separia home, where she discussed plans to get a road in the community fixed.
01:29Mr. Victor says on Saturday morning, he was asked by his son-in-law multiple times to come over to check something in their house, first through a 6am telephone call and then a 10am visit in person.
01:43But Mr. Victor says he was only able to go on Sunday afternoon around 3.30pm.
01:50The man came by me, dropped two cars light for me, told me to check him for 9, for 1 o'clock.
02:00When I go on there, I made it up.
02:02So he come back to prepare for me to come in.
02:06Councillor Victor's body lay on the bed covered with a blanket in an advanced state of decomposition,
02:13while Ram Sumer was unresponsive with what appeared to be froth on his face.
02:18Mr. Victor says police recovered a handwritten note at the scene and read it to them.
02:24He said that he apologised for what he did and he can't live it out with him.
02:32He's gone, when he's so left in peace, and I know he's gone and fighting.
02:35He didn't kill him, he's sure, sure for that.
02:39He didn't kill him, he's told him, he had death.
02:41He's gone with a fight.
02:45Mr. Victor says the couple disagreed often, but by the next day, they were the happiest pair.
02:53Even so, he says he constantly gave her advice, and while he believes he tried his best as a father,
03:00it just wasn't enough, and urged other young women to choose their partners wisely.
03:06I'm always pull and thugging, I'm always stinging, I'm never getting it right.
03:13I tell them already, I say 16 years now, all you're supposed to get it right already.
03:18It's taking too long.
03:20It's taking too long to get over this baby.
03:24All you're taking while you're still coiling and fighting and fussing for, it's making sense.
03:28Investigators say, apart from the note, a bottle of herbicide was discovered inside the house,
03:57Autopsies conducted on Counselor Victor today concluded she died due to blunt force trauma to the neck and head,
04:05while Ram Sumer died from ingesting a poisonous substance, pending a toxicology report.
