A man shared an alarming Facebook post before allegedly killing his wife and himself.
Austin Police Department officers conducted a welfare check on a home in northwest Austin, Texas, on September 24 after a woman told police that she had not heard from the residents in 24 hours.
Upon arrival, police discovered two deceased bodies belonging to Hannah Kang, 25, and her husband Youree Kang, 34, as reported by CBS Austin.
Authorities suspect that Hannah was killed by Youree, who then died by suicide, per a press release shared by the department. "This is a murder-suicide, there are no other persons of interest in their deaths," officials told PEOPLE.
Before the heartbreaking alleged murder-suicide, Youree shared a mysterious post on Facebook that prompted concern from people who knew him.
On the morning of September 23, the man wrote that he was "terrified of what's going to happen to me because everyone is instilling fear in me" on the social media platform.
"My wife has also been acting very strange lately. She's not the same person as I met her. For 10 years, she stuck by my craziness and now she's quick to a divorce," he said, adding that he "was hoping for us to continue to grow with each other".
"I’ve already gone through many things in life and don’t want to keep losing people or lose myself. Whether it be physically or spiritually. Death is inevitable, however, we can try to sustain a longer life if we all help each other. Please help me help you and vice versa," he said. "I didn’t get to be where I am today… Without ANY of you guys in my life. Am I right?
"Please help to save my life!!! I ask for forgiveness and a second chance," he pleaded, adding that "praying away your sins after you've done something bad intentionally will not take away your true pain and suffering! I'm no stranger when it comes to this".
He concluded his post: "That’s why the only way to heal is to listen to others who are hurting just as much you. We all deserve peace and happiness in life. There’s room for everyone to succeed. Please…"
In another post shared on September 22, Youree seemed to express remorse for starting a relationship with his wife when she was a minor.
"I'd like to change the direction of my life, but I need your help. I was told that 'the truth will set you free' so here's my past 10 year story in a nutshell," he began, before stating that he's "been a menace in society and I'd like to clear my name".
Youree said that he was "in an abusive and toxic mindset" when he first met Hannah, revealing that he was a 24-year-old "drunk cashier" when they met on the job at a restaurant.
Despite knowing she was a minor at the time, he said he still pursued a relationship. "It was wrong of me and I can never give her her precious life back," he added in the post.
Austin Police Department disclosed that both Hannah and Youree died from stab wounds.
The investigation is ongoing.
