Former Lt. Gov. Kills Wife and Self
A former candidate for Governor of Virginia, takes his own life and that of his wife. Bernie Bennett has this report.
VERBATIM:
Police say that Justin Fairfax, Virginia’s former Lt. Governor and a rising star in the Democratic party before his career was derailed by sexual assault allegations, killed his wife before killing himself.
Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis says the couple was found dead at their northern Virginia home in Annandale after their teenage son called 911 shortly after midnight Thursday.
Fairfax and his wife, Dr. Cerina Fairfax, were going through a divorce, and Fairfax was served recently with paperwork that indicated when he was next to appear in court.
