A Jamaican-born man is suspected to have taken his own life after he was found dead inside his car with a bullet wound in Union, New Jersey in the United States on Monday.
A day later, two sisters - one of whom he had children with - were found dead with gunshot wounds inside the man’s Jamaican restaurant in Hillside in New Jersey.
Investigators are trying to determine whether the deaths of the women and the Jamaican man are connected.
The man and one of the deceased women, 39-year-old Karen Lemaitre, owned the Jamaican restaurant.
Lemaitre was the mother of his children, according to acting Union County Prosecutor, Lyndsay V. Ruotolo, who issued a statement about the tragic incidents on Wednesday.
