The young lady was identified as Zaleena Shadeek’s. Her abdomen was slashed and throat slit. Relatives who discovered the body of the fifth form student of Mabaruma Secondary School, rushed her for medical attention; however, she succumbed Thursday morning.  

Her former lover’s body, 19-year old Ronnie Ramjit was found hanging from a tree at Hosororo Hill. Residents and relatives suspect he committed suicide.
