Police are still trying to determine why a 76-year-old Polo man shot and killed a 73-year-old Polo woman in her home Monday afternoon and then hanged and shot himself.

Dead are Marcellene Jones, 73, 604 W. North St., Polo, and Paul J. Busser, Sr., 76, 714 W. .Fulton, also of Polo.

“They were acquaintances,” he said.

Both bodies were found in Jones’ home shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Monday.
