Authorities in Carrollton, Texas, have identified the people who died last weekend in a double murder-suicide.
77-year-old William Roy Singer, Jr., and his 51-year-old daughter Cheri Ann Singer were killed on Saturday by his son and her brother, 53-year-old William Randolph Singer.
All three bodies were found inside a home that had caught fire.
Police stated, “Firefighters found the bodies while extinguishing the fire. The cause of the fire remains under current investigation. We do however know that all three of them died before the fire was started.”
“Firefighters noticed obvious signs of trauma to the bodies of both William Roy Singer Jr. and Cheri Ann Singer. The suspected killer was also found inside the home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head,” continued the officer’s statement.
The official causes of death are still pending for all three and a motive is still under investigation.
William Randolph Singer had been living with his father at the time of the murders.
Cheri Ann Singer was a teacher at Holy Covenant Early Childhood Development Program, and also lived in Carrollton.
