"NOVI, MI — Two bodies believed to be an adult male and female were found inside a home on Porter Street in Novi this morning.

"`The preliminary evidence at the scene suggests an apparent murder/suicide,` said David Molloy, Novi’s director of public safety/chief of police.

"At 11:23 a.m., a welfare request was made by an attorney’s office when one of the residents did not show for a scheduled court hearing. Uniform officers responded to the residence, located on the northwest corner of Taft and Nine Mile roads, to check on the family.

"Officers entered the home with the assistance of a family member who was present at the home. Once inside, they discovered an apparent crime scene with two deceased bodies believed to be residents of the home.

"Molloy said the approximate ages of victims are 55 for the female and 59 for the male."
