Another murder/suicide. This one in southwest Marion County.

Hours after finding two bodies inside a southwest Marion residence on Monday, sheriff's officials said the deaths appear to be a murder/suicide.

As of Tuesday afternoon, detectives had not said how they developed this theory. They have not released the names or any other information about the individuals, saying only that one was a man and the other a woman. The deceased's families have not yet been notified.

This marks the second murder/suicide in Marion this month. The other was discovered by Ocala police officers on Oct. 3. A man, 81, had shot and killed his wife, 77, and then turned the gun on himself, officials said.

According to The Family Violence Prevention Workgroup, there were four domestic violence murders in Marion County last year. So far this year, there have been three.

This most recent case was discovered Monday when deputies were asked to perform a well-being check at an address on Southwest 20th Lane, outside the Dunnellon city limits.

The residence, which appears to be a mobile home, is located on a narrow, bumpy, hardtop dirt road that's surrounded by thick woods. The other homes in the community are mobile homes, and no one was available to comment when a Star-Banner reporter visited the area on Tuesday.
