A couple found dead in a Kent County Delaware parking lot over the weekend died in what state police called a suspected murder-suicide.
Delaware State Troopers were called to the parking lot area off of Cooper Avenue in Bowers Beach, Frederica, around 4 p.m. Saturday where they found the bodies of 55-year-old Kenneth Bowers and his 40-year-old wife, Lysandra Bowers.
Investigators said they both died from apparent gunshot wounds and a handgun was recovered from the scene. Police called it an apparent murder-suicide, but said that an autopsy would be performed to determine the causes and manners of death.
