Police in Northern Marianas are investigating the deaths of two women, whose bodies were found early last Friday morning at a Korean restaurant on Saipan.
The two, who had reportedly been shot, were found inside the Rice Cake Best Food Restaurant.
One was the owner of the business and the other was the baker.
RNZ Pacific's correspondent said the killings happened near a poker arcade, where a security guard was shot dead several years ago.
He said the area was apparently not well lit.
