The New Brunswick RCMP say the deaths of a man and woman in Saint-Quentin are being treated as a double homicide.
Police responded to a home on rue Valcourt shortly before 12:30 p.m. Monday.
When officers arrived, they found the bodies of a man and woman inside the home.
The victims have been identified as 67-year-old Jean Paul Caron and 36-year-old Melanie Roussie, both from Saint-Quentin.
Police say no arrests have been made, but they don’t believe the incident was random.
Saint-Quentin Mayor Nicole Somers told CTV News she cannot remember there ever being a homicide investigation in the community.
Somers says many in residents are in shock.
“They were surprised. Neighbours did not know it had happened. But I don’t think anyone feels threatened by it. I think we all feel secure,” Somers said.
Police remained on the scene Wednesday as they continued their investigation.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have seen the victims in the day leading up to when their bodies were discovered, or anyone who has information about the case, to contact police..
