ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say murder-suicide is suspected in the deaths of a couple at their suburban Detroit home.
The Oakland Press of Pontiac reports 57-year-old Mark Renusch and 56-year-old Maria-Aurora Renusch were found dead of gunshot wounds inside the home Friday in Oakland County's Orion Township after deputies were sent for a welfare check.
