DOUBLE MURDER INVESTIGATED IN RICHARD

RICHARD — Deputies with the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office are investigating a double homicide which occurred in the 500 block of Noah Daigle Road in the Richard Community west of Church Point.
APSO was notified at 8:25 p.m. Monday night, according to Sheriff K.P. Gibson.
Deputies responded to the residence where a male and female victim were discovered deceased.
The victims have been identified as John B. Guillory, 71, and Lois M. Guillory, 71. The victims are related, but not married, according to Gibson.
Next of kin has been notified.
The sheriff said early investigation has revealed that both victims had been stabbed. That is believed to have been the cause of death.
