A man and woman are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in Grady County.

GRADY COUNTY, GA. -- A man and woman are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in Grady County.

Investigators say they got to the scene on Temple Terrace Circle to find the bodies of 29-year-old Marketh Simpson and 31-year-old Lucretia Simpson.

Officers say the violence happened in front of their seven children.

“Individuals were found outside the house, just outside the house in the yard by family members because they were on the scene when it happened. It does appear that they were involved in a domestic dispute at the time but as far as releasing who did what. I want to see the autopsy results first," said GBI special agent Steve Turner.

The bodies have been sent to the crime lab in Atlanta for autopsies. Those results are expected sometime tomorrow.
