Candice L. Ouellette, 38
MN, Harris
August 5, 2009
Candice is survived by her twin daughters (eight years old), her son (ten years old), her parents, and two siblings.
Douglas Ouellette strangled his wife, Candice, in the kitchen of his home while his frightened twin daughters hid upstairs and called 911.
Douglas ran away to a barn on their land and hanged himself.
Candice had obtained an OFP and filed for divorce in June. At that time, the sheriff took Douglas's guns from him because he had threatened suicide and because Candice became concerned when she saw that he had loaded his guns with enough ammunition to kill everyone in the family.

May 13, 2009
Melvin R. House, 44, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of his wife, Myesha. A jury trial is scheduled for December 6, 2010. Myesha's body was found in Lake Michigan, with four gunshot wounds to her chest.
At the time of the homicide, Myesha had moved in with friends, telling them that she wanted a divorce because her husband had repeatedly beaten her and threatened her with a gun.
In May 2008, she sought a restraining order that was not granted. In 2004, Melvin House was charged with battery against her, and the charge was dismissed on the defendant’s motion.
