Fire Now Looks Like Homicide
Metro Police are now investigating the case of a couple whose bodies were found dead inside their burning home as a homicide.
53-year-old Joyce Browning, who was bound to a wheelchair, was strangled to death before the house caught fire. The cause of her husband's death is still being investigated and police say they are not ruling out any possibility in this case.
"We haven't ruled out any factors at this point," said Metro Police spokesperson Dwight Mitchell. "Even to the fact that this could have possibly been a murder-suicide. We haven't ruled that out."
According to fire officials, the fire was intentionally set and broke out in the victim's living room. Both bodies were found together.
"It's still unreal to me," said Tina Fuson, Joyce Browning's daughter. "It's like it's just a dream...It's like it didn't really happen."
