Gyrth Rutan, 34, allegedly beat Maddilyn Burgess, 28, to death.
According to a statement by Worcester County Prosecutor Joseph D. Early, Rutan was killed after being stopped by police in Gardiner, Maine, Thursday around 5 pm The man got out of the car and shot himself in the head. In the trunk they found Burgess's corpse.
A medical examiner determined that Burgess had died of injuries from heavy blows. Police suspect the case is a murder-suicide. The police searched Rutan's house and they still don't know what his motive for killing the young woman might have been. It is not yet known what the relationship was between the two.
Rutan's friend told the Bangor Daily News that Rutan appeared to be stressed the week before his death. "He didn't look very good," said the friend, who declined to reveal his identity. “He was talking about problems he had with his finances, with work, and with his most recent girlfriend. He came a couple of days and said he wanted to go camping but he didn't stay."
The friend said that Rutan has an 11-year-old daughter. "Her entire life was her daughter," she said. "He was a very good dad. He took her on adventures and trying new things. It is sad that she will never see him again.”
