Massachusetts State Police are investigating a double stabbing that killed a couple in Milton who shared a child.
Troopers responded to 267 Blue Hills Parkway at around 7:30 p.m. on Friday after receiving 'multiple 911 calls' reporting a stabbing, according to a press statement from Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey's office.
Upon arrival, police found two individuals on the ground suffering from serious injuries.
The individuals, identified on Saturday as Rose Lamour, 28, of Milton and Stanley Monteperousse, 35, formerly of Florida, were brought to area hospitals where they were pronounced dead, the statement reads.
An investigation team, including detectives, forensic specialists and a chemist, responded to the scene, according to Morrissey's statement. A state police K-9 unit was also deployed.
While a preliminary investigation suggests the incident was a murder-suicide, authorities said an investigation is ongoing and an autopsy will be conducted.
'This is a heartbreaking tragedy,' the statement reads. '[Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey] and [Milton Police Chief John King] urge anyone feeling threatened by their partner or being abused in their relationship to contact police or community support services.'
