Calls by church members to the elderly women who lived at 243 Albert Street and South road went unanswered and upon further checks, by investigators, the two women were found bound and gagged. Dead are Phyllis Ceasar, 73 and Constance Fraser 87.
Phyllis works as a caretaker of the Full Gospel Assembly church, which is located just next-door. A Church member made the gruesome discovery and he immediately alerted the police. He told reporters that he found the place ransacked. Police are working on the theory that the women were robbed.
As word got around, church members and other residents converged on the scene in disbelief and shocked that the two women were killed.
Both women were described as very committed to their faith and devoted members of the church.
Church members who congregated outside the house began to sing and worship as the bodies were removed by the Lyken Funeral Home.
Police investigators are checking every possible clue, to get to the bottom of the story and arrest whoever is responsible for the horrible act.
