Three crying children raised serious alarm after a man reportedly killed a young woman and then himself in front of them.
The tragic incidence occurred Oldbury, West Mids, England.
According to Daily Star UK, the cops are treating the deaths as murder-suicide.
It is thought a 26-year-old woman was violently attacked and killed by her husband, 30, who then took his own life.
On Saturday afternoon, neighbours heard the anguished cries of the three children, who were aged under eight and included a baby.
Det Insp Jim Munro said police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
He said: “This is a truly tragic incident. It’s understood the woman was violently attacked before the offender took his own life.
“The timeline of exactly what happened is unclear but we believe the two people died during the morning.
“There were three children, including a small baby, present at the address when officers made the discovery.
“They are being looked after by loved ones and will receive specialist support.”
Post-mortem examinations will take place later on Monday, police said.
