Justin Fairfax murder-suicide

Police say Dr. Fairfax had recently served her husband with divorce papers, and a judge had previously flagged his 'very concerning' mental state in a custody case.

Friends and colleagues have expressed shock and heartbreak, remembering Cerina as a devoted mother and a caring dentist who was the rock of her family.

Justin Fairfax's political career had been marred by controversy and allegations of misconduct, which associates say left him in a state of 'darkness.' The couple's children were at home during the incident but were not physically harmed.
