A 33-year-old Iranian woman who had been in the country less than two months was found dead inside a suitcase in St. John’s earlier this week, according to police.
A 33-year-old Iranian woman who had been in the country less than two months was found dead inside a suitcase in St. John’s on Tuesday, according to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.
“The deceased is a 33-year-old woman who was found in the area of Water Street near Springdale Street in the suitcase,” Const. James Cadigan told Global News on Friday afternoon after declaring the case a homicide.
“The office of the chief medical examiner believes she died several days earlier.”
He said that police believe the suitcase had been placed in a vacant lot in the area six days earlier — sometime between 1 and 3 p.m. on July 10.
The RNC officer said that the chief suspect was her husband, a 34-year-old man who was also from Iran.
“So the 34-year-old Iranian man, he was found deceased in his downtown home on Monday,” Cadigan said.
“The investigation into the man’s death does still remain in consultation with our chief medical examiner to determine the cause.”
Given that the man was found dead a day before his wife’s body was discovered, police are still investigating whether it was a murder-suicide.
