It is alleged that the woman had an argument with her 64-year-old boyfriend. The mother of two, 41-year-old Angela Koopman, succumbed to injuries sustained in hospital on Friday. Police confirmed that the incident is domestic-related.

“Police responded to the scene early morning and discovered the burned body of the victim who was later declared as dead by medical personnel who attended to the scene. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the possible cause of death,” said Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Pojie.
