Police have released an update on the discovery of two bodies in Farmington late last month. The Maine Dept. of Public Safety says the deaths of the two individuals have been ruled a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

The bodies were found at the Pawsitive dog kennel on Red Schoolhouse Road.

The victims were identified as 76-year-old Jean Robinson and her daughter, 53-year-old Allison Cumming, both of Farmington.

A cause of the death for the two victims is not being released at this time.

The Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit, Farmington police, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the Maine Attorney General’s Office are all working together on the investigation into the deaths.
