The house in New Jersey, which exploded with a man and a woman inside, was the shocking end of a murder self-murder, according to the authorities, which had found that one of the victims had been shot in the head.

The corpses of the victims, who have not yet been publicly identified, were recovered from the burned -out house after the fiery explosion on the Washington Township in Washington in Gloucester County shaked retirement.

Since then, the investigators have announced that the charred remains of the woman were in a bed and that she had suffered a fatal gunshot wound on the head, said the Gloucester County district.

Her death has been ruled as a murder since then.

In the meantime, according to the prosecutors in the living room, the man was found with a pistol next to his body.

A medical examiner ruled his death as a suicide by fire.

“The examination carried out after the fire showed the presence of an acceleration agent and that the gas line of the house had been manipulated, which enabled the unrestricted flow of natural gas into the interior of the house,” says a statement by the public prosecutor.

A motif for the tragedy was not immediately clear.

The identity of the two people was also held back until the medical examiner was officially confirmed, according to the public prosecutor.

The tragedy unfolded at 2 a.m. when the police from neighbors who reported to hear what exploded like a bomb, received a flood of 911 calls.

Door bell material from different properties recorded the moment when the house on the calibration court exploded – fireballs and clouds of smoke in the air.

“I was scared, absolutely scared,” neighbor Susan Pinto told NBC 10.

Another resident, Jimmy Gibson, said ABC 6 that he could not believe how quickly the house had risen into flames after the initial explosion, which he called the “really loud boom”.

“The whole house was already on fire, so quickly as soon as the explosion took place,” he said.

Two nearby houses were also damaged in the fire, the authorities said.

The corpses of the victims were called out of the house after the inferno was poured over by first aiders.
