Their bodies were discovered after neighbors grew concerned about their unusual silence.
Possible Motives Emerge
Initial police investigations point toward family opposition as a potential trigger for the extreme step. "We are looking into whether pressure from their families regarding their live-in relationship contributed to this tragedy," stated a senior police officer involved in the case.
