The Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) has giv­en in­struc­tions to charge a 20-year-old man with the mur­ders of Rosan­na and Ele­na Ram­lal.

The sus­pect is a close male rel­a­tive of the vic­tims.

The 46-year-old woman and her 17-year-old daugh­ter were found dead at their home at Sev­enth Av­enue, Mal­ick, Barataria, on Oc­to­ber 16.

Their bod­ies were found in a bed­room of the house by fire­fight­ers who re­spond­ed to re­ports of a house fire.

Three spent shells were found at the scene.

An au­top­sy con­firmed the two were shot in the head be­fore the bod­ies were burnt.

The sus­pect is ex­pect­ed to ap­pear in court this morn­ing.
