A Utica Police officer stabbed his wife to death, then turned the knife on himself Monday afternoon in an apparent murder-suicide.

According to State Police, they responded to a 911 call around 4 p.m. Monday afternoon at 10508 Cosby Manor Road in Deerfield. Authorities said a child had discovered the bodies of their parents in their home – both were bleeding from stab wounds.

A female victim, Kristin Longo, 39, was dead at the scene, while her husband, Joseph Longo Jr., 41, was alive, but severely bleeding. At the scene, Longo admitted to police that he had stabbed his wife multiple times with a household knife and then turned the knife on himself. The knife was recovered at the scene. When asked if, Longo being a police officer, any guns were found at the scene, Coots said no.

Longo, an active Utica Police Investigator for several years, and a part-time security officer at Proctor High School, was taken from the scene by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Medical Center, where he died of his self-inflicted wounds around 4:30 p.m Monday afternoon.

The couple were found in what Coots referred to as “a common room” of the Cosby Manor Road. Coots said they were still processing the residence, and so far, no note describing reasons for the actions was found.

Only 1 credible witness

I had a friend who tried to suicide by jumping behind a train. She
was dyslexic.

A coroner has called for “insult chatrooms” to be banned after a man took his own life while being watched by others on a web cam.

A verdict of suicide was returned on Kevin Whitrick, 42, of Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, who died in March.

The court heard he was using Paltalk, which urged users to insult each other, when he said he wanted to kill himself.

He hanged himself while some internet users urged him on and others tried to stop him, coroner Michael Gwynne heard.

‘Well-liked’

The coroner was told Mr Whitrick had been using a “friendly insult” forum at the time of his death.
