Pro Wrestler, Wife Killed In Chester County Murder-Suicide

WEST CHESTER, PA — The victims of last week's suspected murder-suicide in West Chester have been identified as a former professional wrestler and his wife, authorities said.

Charles Williams, once known as professional wrestler Rockin Rebel, and his wife Stephanie Williams were both found dead inside their home on North Five Points Roads on June 1.

While the investigation is still ongoing, police said that "initial indications support" the theory that Charles Williams shot his wife before turning the gun on himself.

6ABC reports that the couple, who lived there with two young children, had a "troubled life."

Neighbors reportedly said that the couple rarely left the house,and that police visited there frequently.

Williams competed as part of the Extreme Championship Wrestling circuit in the 1980s and 90s, and traveled around the world for events, including Japan, Korea, and Puerto Rico, according to ProWrestlingSheet. He was trained by "Rock 'n' Roll Express," a famous entity in the pro wrestling world.

The Chester County Coroner's Office will perform autopsies and the West Goshen Township Criminal Investigations Unit is looking into the case.
