Marlboro husband and wife killed in murder-suicide at Albermarle Drive home

MARLBORO - A husband and wife found dead in their Albermarle Drive home earlier this week were killed as the result of a murder-suicide, acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey announced Thursday.

The bodies of Priscilla Badua, 68, and her husband, Felino Badua, Jr., 66, were found in the residence by Marlboro police officers at 2:24 p.m. Tuesday after the department received a request to conduct a welfare check on the couple.

Felino Badua Jr. killed his wife, Priscilla Badua, and then committed suicide, said Christopher Swendeman, a spokesman for the Prosecutor’s Office.

“Out of privacy and respect for the family we are not going to disclose any further details,” Swendeman said.
