GEORGETOWN (CMC):
The police have arrested a 27-year-old Cuban national in connection with the murder of his partner, Tara Krishnaran, and her 11-year-old daughter on Christmas Day.
The police report that Joel Rodriguez, known as Yoel Rodriguez Barientos, was arrested on Sunday.
It is suspected that Rodriguez committed the act sometime between Christmas night and Boxing Day at their home in Georgetown, where the police recovered a blood-stained hammer and knife at the scene.
The woman’s father, who also lives at the house, told investigators that the couple was involved in an argument on the evening of December 25, following which a fight ensued.
