Horrifying dispatch audio of the 911 call that came in after Justin Fairfax and his wife died in a murder-suicide was released Thursday afternoon.
Former Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife, Cerina and then shot himself dead early Thursday morning.
According to NBC4 Washington, Justin Fairfax had just lost custody of his teenage children and was ordered to move out of the marital home before he murdered his wife and turned the gun on himself.
“The wife testified that heavy daily alcohol consumption by the father has become the norm,” a judge wrote in the custody opinion, the outlet reported.
“The court documents say Justin spiraled into alcoholism and isolated himself from family involvement following the 2019 sexual assault allegations against him while he was in office. They’re allegations he denied but that weighed on him tremendously, the judge wrote,” according to NBC 4 Washington.
Justin and Cerina’s two teenage children, a son and a daughter were home at the time of the bloody murder-suicide.
Fairfax’s 16-year-old son, Cameron dialed 911 and reported his mother had been shot.
