Fled the Scene by Car
The suspected perpetrator is said to have then gotten into his car and driven away. The car was found heavily damaged around 6 p.m., approximately 22 kilometers away. Based on the evidence at the scene, the 29-year-old is believed to have crashed the car into a tree at that location. He did not survive the crash.
Body Showed Gunshot Wounds
Investigators are treating the case as a suicide. The man’s body reportedly showed gunshot wounds to the head, among other injuries. According to investigators, he likely killed himself while still driving.
As of Friday evening, no specific details regarding a motive for the crime were known. However, since the victim is believed to have been the alleged perpetrator’s ex-partner, a relationship-related motive is considered likely.
No other individuals are believed to have been involved in this horrific incident. Autopsies will be performed on both bodies.
