The funeral of Marie Mendy and Zilson Gomez will be held in Saturday, according to Busumbala MP Saikouba Jarju.
Busumbala was rocked earlier this month when a man and a woman’s bodies were retrieved from a home with police saying their initial investigations pointed to a case of murder-suicide. Other theories have however continued to swirl.
Busumbala MP Saikouba Jarju has now announced the duo will be buried on Saturday.
He said: “It is with sorrow and sadness to inform that the bodies of Maria Gomez and Zilson Gomez will be laid today in Busumbala by 11am.
“The investigation to establish cause of the deaths is in progress by the police. As a result I urge to be vigilant and remain until the police are ready with the job.
“The government of the Gambia through the ministry of health had hired international forensic pathologists in order to clear the mysterious claims surrounding their deaths. Therefore, thanks to the Police, Ministry of Health and the whole government as a whole for the concerns putted on this incident.
“In addition, I thank the family of the late Maria for the patience they took to allow the due processes to be followed.
“Am in a very sad mood to see this innocent and promising girl to [be] killed mysteriously and buried.”
