Maine State Police are investigating a murder suicide in Presque Isle, a town in Aroostook County, Sunday morning.
Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland said Presque Isle Police were called to 728 Reach Road Saturday night and requested the Maine State Police tactical team and negotiators. Early Sunday morning, tactical team members made entry into the home and found two bodies, an adult male and a child.
Investigators are treating the deaths as a domestic violence murder suicide, McCausland said.
The state police major crimes unit and evidence technicians spent hours at the scene Sunday and may return on Monday. The bodies have been taken to the state medical examiner’s office in Augusta for autopsies on Monday. Additional information is expected to be released at that time.
The Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene Saturday night.
