A mother from Florida has been accused of violently taking the lives of her two young children before taking her own life inside their ritzy gated community home.
Monika Rubacha carried out the shocking double murder suicide inside her family's $1.7 million Lakewood Ranch residence, as per reports from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
Cops were seen arriving at the home at about 8:30 pm on Thursday after her husband, Richard James, who was reportedly on a business trip in South America, asked them to check on the family, as per authorities.
Richard began to grow so concerned when he couldn't reach out to his family for at least a day and a half, as per the Sheriff's office spokesperson Randy Warren. The sheriff mentioned how he knew right away that something was odd and not right. 'There were signs of homicidal violence'- he continued.
Responding deputies found 44-year-old Rubacha, 14-year-old Josh James, and 11-year-old Emma James all dead inside the home with traumatic injuries, as per the sheriff's office.
