Police suspect husband shot wife, then self
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Investigators suspect a Madison man fatally shot his estranged wife in McFarland, then returned to his apartment and killed himself.
The Dane County coroner says preliminary autopsy findings show 61-year-old Robert Beaulieu died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Tuesday evening.
When police in McFarland attempted to contact Beaulieu's estranged wife Tuesday night to tell her of her husband's death, they found her dead in her apartment. They say 51-year-old Shereen Beaulieu died of a gunshot wound.
Court records indicate that Shereen Beaulieu had filed for divorce in June.
McFarland Police Chief Gregory Leck says the last murder in the village back in the early 1970s was also a domestic homicide-suicide.

Wouldn't you think he'd realize if she didn't want to be with him on Earth, she probably doesn't want to be with him anywhere else either? On this one, you gotta hope God splits 'em up, if you know what I mean.

I'm very sorry for the woman and her family.
Why don't these idiots skip a step and just do them selves in?
