Tragic Murder-Suicide at the Jersey Shore

According to the Monmouth County Prosecutors Office, a husband and wife who were found deceased in their Keyport home last week died as a result of a murder-suicide.

Following a request for a wellness check, officers of the Keyport Police Department were dispatched to a property on Chingarora Avenue on Tuesday morning, March 19. Responding law enforcement police discovered that the 37-year-old victim, Ekaterina Kalyapina, and her 39-year-old husband, Ilya Gagin, were both dead.

Two tiny dogs were found inside the house, unhurt. After being notified, the MCSPCA arrived and seized possession of the dogs.

The two died of homicide and suicide, respectively, according to an autopsy performed by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner's Office.

We ask that anyone with information on this case call 732-264-0706 to speak with Keyport Sergeant Joseph Rendina or Detective Michael Donovan, III of the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
