ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Officials in Aruba are looking into a devastating incident at The St. Regis Aruba Resort involving a tourist couple who were visiting the island for their honeymoon. Authorities have described the case as an apparent murder-suicide.
Police said the incident took place during the morning hours. Emergency crews were dispatched to the resort after a disturbance was reported inside a guest room. Upon arrival, responders found two adults, later identified as a married couple on a honeymoon trip, deceased at the scene.
Several resort guests reported seeing a heavy law enforcement presence and said access to certain areas of the property was temporarily restricted while investigators worked. Some guests were redirected away from common spaces as resort staff coordinated with authorities to maintain safety and discretion.
The identities of the victims have not been released as officials work to notify family members. Authorities have shared only limited information out of respect for those affected and have confirmed there is no danger to other guests or the public.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and have asked the public to refrain from speculation, urging reliance on verified updates from official sources.
The incident has deeply affected both guests and employees at the resort. Representatives from the property expressed sympathy for the families involved and stated they are fully cooperating with authorities while providing support to staff and guests impacted by the event.
As details continue to emerge, messages of condolence have come from travelers and members of the community. Authorities say additional information will be released as it becomes available, and anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement.
