Turlock couple Troy Borges and Susanne Borges killed in murder-suicide; $100k to raise for Bor
Turlock, CA – A heartbreaking discovery unfolded in Turlock as authorities identified a husband and wife who were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide earlier this week. The Turlock Police Department responded to the incident on Monday evening along East Springer Drive.
The incident was reported as an aggravated assault, and it was a family member who made the shocking discovery when she returned home, finding her parents with life-threatening injuries. Tragically, it was soon evident that the couple had not survived.
The victims were identified as Troy and Susanne Borges, aged 60 and 61, respectively. An autopsy revealed that Troy took his wife’s life before ending his own using a utility knife, which was recovered at the scene. The motive behind this tragic event remains unknown, as only the couple, who were alone in the house, could have known the reasons for their actions.
