A double stabbing in Brampton is now being called a domestic murder suicide by investigators.

Police were first called to a home near Hurontario St. and Steeles Ave. W. on April 1 where they discovered a man and a woman with life-threatening stab wounds.

Both the 46-year-old man and the 43-year-old woman succumbed to their injuries in hospital.

Police say Mathura Chaitram first stabbed his wife, Petty Mahabir-Chaitram, before turning the knife on himself.

Officers are asking anyone with information to please contact them on (905) 453-2121, ext. 3205.
