I found the solution for me. Kill one enemy NEAR the right statue which should light it up and then run over to the left statue and kill an enemy NEAR it which will light up that statue. The doors should start to open at that point. You just need to activate BOTH statues by killing ONE enemy NEAR each. I don't believe it matters which one first.
