KSP Say Breakup Led To Murder Suicide
KENTUCKY....
A man and a woman were found dead Sunday afternoon at a hunting cabin northeast of Irvine in Estill County near the Powell County line. KSP say a relationship breakup led to the deaths of 35 year old Kelli Barr of Mineral, W. Va., who was found dead in the bathroom with a gunshot wound to the head, and 53 year old Michael Boyle of Estill County, who was found dead in a living room chair, also with a gunshot wound to the head. Trooper Chris Lanham says Boyle apparently sat down in the chair and killed himself with a .22-caliber pump-action rifle after killing Barr. Lanham says Barr came to Boyle's cabin to retrieve her belongings after the couple broke up about two weeks ago, and he believes the killing was planned. Barr;s current boyfriend, who had driven her to the cabin and reported the shooting, says he heard a heated argument before hearing two gunshots.
