Audubon couple’s deaths ruled murder-suicide, Camden County prosecutor says
A 64-year-old woman died from multiple gunshot wounds and a 63-year-old man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a medical examiner determined Tuesday.
The deaths of a couple whose bodies were found inside their home in Audubon, Camden County, have been ruled a murder-suicide, Acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill S. Mayer said Tuesday.
Police responded about 1 p.m. Monday to a home on the 100 block of Oakland Avenue to a report of two people found dead. A witness had gone to the home to conduct a welfare check after not hearing from the couple since Saturday, Mayer and Audubon Police Chief Thomas Tassi said in a news release.
Once inside, detectives located Jane Venable, 64, and Kevin Venable, 63. The Medical Examiner’s Office determined Tuesday that she had died from multiple gunshot wounds and that he died from a self-inflicted one, the Prosecutor’s Office said.
