Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and his wife, Cerina Fairfax, were dealing with marital problems and that took a dark turn as a murder-suicide on Thursday, 16 April. According to Fairfax County Police, the 47-year-old Democrat repeatedly shot his wife in the basement of their Annandale home just after midnight before turning the gun on himself.
'This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce,' police chief Kevin Davis said.
