Couple Had History of Domestic Problems

"Manchester, MO - A husband and wife were found dead Monday night at their home in the 900 block of Brookvale Terrace, police said.

"Their deaths are believed to have been a murder-suicide, Police Chief John Connolly said. Both died of a single gunshot wound to the head.

"Connolly said the couple's adult daughter found the couple dead at 7:53 p.m. and called police. She had been worried because she had e-mailed her mother Sunday and hadn't heard back and found that unusual, he said.

"Police think the couple had died in the last 24 hours, most likely Sunday evening.

"Both were in their mid-60s, had a history of domestic problems and recently had been experiencing financial trouble, Connolly said. St. Louis County court records show that a woman had sought an order of protection last week naming her husband, who lived at the address where the bodies were found."
