West Hants RCMP responded to a request to check on the well-being of two people at a home on King St. in Windsor. Responding officers found the two men deceased in the residence on September 3 at approximately 7:15 p.m.

Police said the men, ages 73 and 40, were both from Windsor and were members of the same family.

Working with the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service, it has been determined that the 40-year-old man died as a result of homicide and the 73-year-old man’s death was the result of self-inflicted injuries.

In consideration of the Privacy Act and out of respect for the families, the Nova Scotia RCMP will not be releasing any further details
