Two bodies were discovered Saturday morning in a villa in Bemasoandro Itaosy. According to initial findings by police and gendarmerie, the victims died from gunshot wounds to the head. A tragedy unfolded Saturday in the municipality of Bemasoandro Itaosy. A 61-year-old businessman and his 20-year-old daughter were found dead in their home in Antanikatsaka. According to gendarmerie and police findings, both victims died from gunshot wounds to the head. The young woman was lying on her bed, covered with a blanket. Her father was partially on his. A firearm was found on the floor between his feet. Law enforcement noted the house showed no signs of forced entry and no objects appeared to have been stolen. Five bullets were fired at the young woman and one at her father. Four unused rounds were found in the weapon, a legally registered .22 Long Rifle pistol registered to the father's name. According to initial official information, the doctor at Bemasoandro's Basic Health Center II estimated the deaths occurred the previous night around midnight. No response. According to police, the 60-year-old's driver was questioned and stated his employer had told him the day before that he was considering ending his life due to financial difficulties. A source present during the investigation, who requested anonymity, reported that the driver was cleaning his boss's car as usual that morning before attempting to call him. Receiving no answer, he contacted the deceased man's son, who lives in Ampitatafika. Unable to reach his father either, the son went to the house. Using a spare key, he opened the back door and discovered the bodies. Itaosy police, the criminal investigation unit, gendarmerie, and medical personnel indicate that initial evidence points investigators toward the hypothesis of murder followed by suicide. The bodies were transported to the morgue of Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona Hospital (HJRA) for autopsy. The young woman's mother had already passed away. According to a family source, the young woman, a student abroad, had returned to Madagascar for vacation and was scheduled to leave soon to continue her studies. The family, known in police circles, requested that the investigation be assigned to the criminal investigation unit.
