THE country recorded its first double murder for the year when a 60-year-old attorney and her 67-year-old husband were found dead, bound and gagged, in their Cumuto home on the night of January 9 after what police believe to be a home invasion.

They have been identified as Kumari Baksh and Nasheed Baksh, a law clerk.
