Dead Couple Had Marital Problems

"DECATUR, AL — A couple found dead Wednesday night after what an incident report called a `homicide/suicide` recently had marital problems, Decatur police said.

"A police department press release says investigators determined that Richard Willingham, 33, shot and killed Sequeta Willingham, 29, before turning the gun on himself at their 1609 14th Avenue S.E. apartment.

"Police were called to the scene at about 9:30 p.m. Family members called and asked police to check on the couple because they hadn't been able to contact them.

"Neighbors said they didn't know the couple and didn't know what was going on until the landlord of an adjacent duplex told them.

"The bodies have been sent to the Alabama Department of Forensics for further investigation."
