A mother-of-six, 49, has been found dead along with her ex-husband, 52, in a suspected 'murder-suicide' in a quiet residential street.
Vicala Gheorghe is thought to have been fatally stabbed by Marian Gheorghe before he took his own life.
Ms Gheorghe was found seriously injured at her home in Caludon Road, Coventry, at around 5.30am last Friday.
She was rushed to hospital but died a short time later while Mr Gheorghe was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post mortem will be carried out next week to establish the causes of death.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: 'The pair were former partners and forensic post mortems will take place next week to establish the causes of death.
'We're continuing our enquiries into exactly what happened but at this stage we strongly believe Marian injured Vicala and then himself.
'We're offering support to family members during this distressing time.
'We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident at this stage.'
Six rescue crews, including three ambulances, dashed to the property after receiving an emergency call last Friday morning.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: 'We were called to reports of a stabbing on Caludon Road in Coventry at 5.30am.
'Three ambulances, two paramedic officers and the Air Ambulance Critical Care Car were sent to the scene where, on arrival, crews found two patients: a man and a woman.
'The man, who was in a critical condition, was receiving basic life support from police colleagues before ambulance staff took over and immediately began administering advanced life support.
She was rushed to hospital but died a short time later while Mr Gheorghe was pronounced dead at the scene. A post mortem will be carried out next week to establish the causes of death
'Sadly, he could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.
'The female patient, who had suffered serious injuries, received advanced trauma care from medics before being conveyed on blue lights to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.
'However, shortly after arrival at hospital, sadly it became clear she could not be saved and was confirmed deceased.'
