A man and woman found dead in their northern New Jersey home this week apparently died in a murder-suicide, authorities said.
Police found the bodies of 47-year-old John Sykes and 23-year-old Felicia Hunt in their Belleville home on Friday night, Essex County prosecutors told NJ.com. Officers had gone to the home around 6:30 p.m. to check on Sykes after he failed to show up for work.
Anthony Ambrose, the chief of detectives for the prosecutor's office, said it appears Sykes killed Hunt before taking his own life.
Authorities said the two lived together at the house and appeared to be involved in a relationship.
