Police Have No Answers

"COVINGTON, GA — Authorities have announced that the deaths of Robert and Lendene Dendy were the result of a murder/suicide. The manner and cause were determined to be gunshot wounds from a 9mm handgun.

"`Mr. Dendy's wound was self-inflicted,` said Newton County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Deputy Courtney Morrison.

"Apparently Robert Dendy shot Mrs. Dendy while they were in the bedroom of the home and then turned the gun on himself.

"Morrison said no motive for the murder/suicide has been uncovered, nor has the family been able to give what they think may be a reason.

"`That's one of those things the family will struggle with for a long time,` said Newton County Coroner Tommy Davis. `Unfortunately, we have no answers to those types of questions.`

"The bodies have been released to the family for burial, Morrison said.

"The bodies of Robert Dendy, 44, and Lendene Dendy, 39, were found by a family member at 265 Stone Ridge Way around 7:45 a.m. Monday and law enforcement was notified.

"Davis said the time line for the time of the deaths was sometime between the early morning hours Sunday, when the last known people talked to them and the time they were found on Monday."
