Two young women, All's Stella Moore and Miss Doyle, were sleeping in a bungalow in the grounds of a hotel at Rockingham. Miss Doyle left the room for a few minutes, and, returning, found Mrs Moore with a bullet wound in the face and a man lying dead alongside the bed with a bullet through his head. Mrs Moore is not in a serious condition.
It is stated the dead man is her husband, who cr#pt bootless to the room and shot her and then himself.
Some weeks ago Moore was a resident of Geraldton, arid informed the police that his wife was missing. He traced her to Rockingham. Jealousy is supposed to be the cause of the tragedy.
