Note Left For Kids

"WESTBOROUGH, MA — A Westborough husband and wife were found dead in their home yesterday, in what authorities are calling an apparent murder-suicide.

"Richard `Todd` Bibart, 43, and Rebecca Bibart, 41, were found in their home on 27 Thomas Newton Drive, Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. said in a statement. The two were discovered after a neighbor found a note affixed to their front door instructing the Bibarts’ children to stay outside and to call police. At about 4 p.m., Westborough police were called in to perform a well-being check on the family, Early said.

"The couple’s two small children were not at home during the incident, Early said.

"In a phone interview last night, Tim Connolly, a spokesman for the Worcester district attorney, said he did not know exactly how the couple died. Connolly also said it was unclear if the husband or the wife was the instigator of the killings, and his office did not know if a weapon had been found."
