The lives of a couple who were divorcing after almost 32 years of marriage ended in a murder-suicide Tuesday in McFarland and Madison.
Police believe Robert J. Beaulieu, 61, of 1126 Moorland Road, shot himself Tuesday at his Madison apartment after killing his wife, Shereen C. Beaulieu, 51, with one shot to the head at her McFarland apartment. The couple filed for divorce June 19 after several years of separation.
Shereen C. Beaulieu had been working in administrative support of research grants at the UW-Madison Graduate School since January 2007.
