An investigation is underway after a man, woman and child were all killed in an apparent double murder-suicide inside a Chester County home.
On Monday, East Marlborough Township Police responded to a home on Federal Walk in Kennett Square for a wellbeing check. When they arrived they found the bodies of a 55-year-old man, 50-year-old woman and 12-year-old child. All three had died from apparent gunshot wounds. Multiple cartridge casings were found at the scene while a semi-automatic handgun was spotted on the floor near the man.
Investigators believe the incident was a double murder-suicide. Detectives also learned there was a history of domestic violence inside the home. “This is an inconceivable tragedy for the victims’ family, their loved ones, and our community,” Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan said. “You have my deepest sympathy. We will use all our resources to determine why this heartbreaking and senseless incident happened. This is an ongoing investigation and we will update the public as soon as possible.”
