A divorce lawyer shot and killed his wife who had coronavirus on Christmas Day and then pulled the trigger on himself to end his life.
John Liquori’s motive is still unknown, but Covid-19 was a factor leading up to the murder-suicide.
Cindy Liquori, 55, tested positive for the virus and her husband, a well-known divorce attorney in Connecticut, may have been infected with it too, Windsor Locks Detective Sgt. Jeff Lampson told the Hartford Courant on Monday.
The wife was at the home of her mother, Claire Palmer, who was at a hospital getting treatment for Covid-19, according to authorities.
Cindy Liquori was sleeping at the house on Dale Street when her husband shot her, a state police source told the newspaper.
John Liquori, 59, then shot and killed himself, according to the source.
The lawyer called his wife’s brother on Friday evening and told him to come over and take Palmer’s dogs, which Cindy Liquori was taking care of, Lampson said.
John Liquori called the brother again not long after and “the conversation they had raised serious concerns,” the detective said.
