But Assistant Commissioner Ron Scott said he had quit for personal reasons after talking with his wife and the resignation was not related to the killings or the investigation.

Mr and Mrs Mullany, both 31, from Pontardawe, South Wales, were shot on July 27 when at least one gunman burst into their isolated cottage as they slept.

Mrs Mullany, a doctor, died immediately and her husband, a physiotherapy student, was placed on life support but died at Morriston Hospital in Swansea last Sunday, after being flown home.

Justice minister Collin Derrick said Mr Scott's resignation would not affect continuing murder investigations. His replacement has not been named.

His announcement comes a month after Deputy Police Commissioner Michael O'Neil resigned for personal reasons.

Both Mr Scott and Mr O'Neil were among four retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who received top positions within the Caribbean island's department in February.
