"Romantically Linked" Couple Found Dead

"CIRCLE PINES, MN — Police found two dead Wednesday morning at Village Plaza townhouses in what authorities are calling an apparent murder-suicide case.

"Police went to the 500 block of Village Parkway Drive at 11:28 a.m. to check on a 26-year-old woman who had not reported to work. Upon forced entry into the house, officers found the bodies of the woman and a 36-year-old man. The couple were said to have been romantically linked, but were now living apart. The identities of the victims and causes of death have not been released.

"Last year, Circle Pines was active in combating domestic violence, producing an information DVD with the help of Blaine-based North Metro TV.

"The incident is currently under investigation by the Centennial Lakes Police Department, the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office and the Anoka County Medical Examiner’s Office. Authorities said the general public is not at risk at this time."
