[UPDATED] Police Release Names of Victims in Possible Murder-Suicide

UPDATE: Saturday, 2:15 p.m.

Milford Police have identified Kenneth Fox, 50, and Catherine Fox, 51, of 123 Branca Court, as the husband and wife who investigators believe may have been involved in a suspected murder-suicide after the two were found dead inside their Milford home Friday morning.

"Investigators are focusing on a domestic incident inside the home and will be continuing with their investigation including the completion of autopsies by the State Medical Examiner’s Office," Milford Police Officer Jeffrey Nielsen stated in a press release this afternoon.

UPDATE: Friday

A police report shows that the couple who lived in the house where two bodies were found earlier today in a suspected murder-suicide had an argument that ultimately led to the husband being arrested and barred from the home last month.

The report also shows that the 50-year-old husband and a 19-year-old, apparently the couple's son, then fought outside the Branca Court residence, bringing police to the scene.

Investigation during the Aug. 16 incident revealed that the 50-year-old man and his wife had been arguing while driving home in their car, according to police.

"(The man) allegedly turned off the vehicle his spouse was driving while it was in motion," police said.

When the couple arrived at home, the father and the 19-year-old fought outside the residence, according to police.

The two men were taken into custody and later released, police said. As a condition of the release, the husband was prohibited from entering the home, according to police.

The next day, however, police say they received a second complaint about the husband entering the residence twice -- violating the condition of his release.

The father was charged then with second-degree breach of peace, disorderly conduct, second-degree reckless endangerment and two counts of violation of conditions of release, according to police. He was held then in lieu of $50,000 bond, police said.

The 19-year-old was charged with breach of peace and released on a promise to appear in court, according to police.

Milford Patch is not releasing the names of the two men or the exact address of the home as the son has yet to be contacted about the suspected murder-suicide that occurred there earlier today.

The original story:

Police are investigating a possible murder-suicide on Branca Court, at a house neighbor said was known for its shouting matches but went silent this morning.

Cops say they got a report of two bodies at the home around 10 a.m.

Although a police source told Milford Patch it was a murder-suicide, department spokesman Officer Jeffrey Nielsen said only two adults had died suspiciously.

"We're deeming it suspicious," he said.

A couple and their college-age son live at the white raised ranch with blue shutters, that was surrounded by yellow police tape. Police asked that the exact address of the home be withheld as they tried to reach the son.

In the otherwise quiet York Village, neighbors said the husband was known to have a temper -- and to argue with his wife and son.

Neighbor Joyce Minar recalled the couple arguing outside the home about three weeks ago. She said she overheard the husband begging the wife to return to the house -- and claiming he would lose his job if he couldn't.

The argument broke up -- and the husband sped away, so Minar said she didn't call the cops.

"Obviously, I regret it now," Minar said.

The president of the York Village Association, Gary Gauruder, said the husband was known to fight with not only with his wife, but with his son -- although he had not seen any arguments firsthand.

Otherwise, the neighborhood is known to be a quiet one. Homeowners were surprised and frightened at news of the deaths.

While Minar was making arrangements for her son to stay at a friend's house tonight so he wouldn't have to see the police probe, Gauruder said he realizes crime can happen in any area.

"I'm not shocked," he said, "but it is kind of surprising."

Police did not identify the family -- and neighbors said they could not provide names as the trio kept to themselves for the approximately 10 years they lived there.
