A 68-year-old Long Island man apparently shot his girlfriend to death and then took his own life in a brutal murder inside the home they shared, cops said.
The bodies of Paul Trefimovich, 68, and his partner Valerie Kopetic, 63, were found by police who were called to do a welfare check at their home in Port Jefferson after Kopetic didn’t show up for work, Suffolk County police said.
Cops responded to the couple’s home just after 11 a.m. after the call from Kopetic’s employer, according to authorities.
When they arrived at the Oakwood Road home, they found both bodies lying in a horror scene, and concluded that Trefimovich shot her dead before turning the gun on himself.
Police have not said whether there were any prior domestic calls to the home.
