On Monday, the bodies of a married couple embroiled in a bitter divorce were discovered dead inside a home in Southern California in what authorities say was a murder-suicide.
A statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department alleges Maurice Molina, 55, fatally stabbed his 48-year-old wife, Julie, before using the knife to end his own life.
It was at around 3 p.m. that police were called to the Molina’s North Tustin home.
According to police, a relative allegedly found the bodies. Multiple outlets report Julie Molina’s mother found the bodies.
The relative’s screams allegedly prompted neighbors to call 911.
