Potter County Murder Suicide
Roulette, Potter County - A Potter County man killed his estranged wife this weekend, and then killed himself. State Troopers said they found Matthew and Cheri Baker's bodies in their Roulette home Sunday afternoon.

Troopers said Cheri went to her husband's home to discuss custody arrangements for their two-year-old son. That’s when they say he shot her in the head, set the house on fire, and killed himself. State police are calling it a murder-suicide.

The incident started Sunday afternoon when 29-year-old Cheri Baker stopped by the home of her estranged husband, 32-year-old Matthew Baker, at 14 Fourth street, according to a spokesman with Pennsylvania State Police.

The trooper says Matthew Baker shot Cheri in the head with a .22 caliber rifle. He then set the house on fire before shooting himself in the head. The Potter County Coroner pronounced both of the Bakers dead late Sunday night. The house fire extinguished itself, causing minor damage.

Both Matthew and Cheri Baker were pronounced dead at the scene by Potter County Coroner Kevin Dusenbury around 8:10 pm Sunday.

The trooper says the investigation into this incident is ongoing and investigators are awaiting autopsy results.

~In loving memory of Cheri Kay Baker~
Our prayers are with you Cheri, we all miss you so much! You were the best aunt I could ever ask for. I'm sorry that times were tough with the families, but what families don't have problems or arguments? I'll never forget the wonderful day we celebrated 4 years ago. I was your maid of honor and I always will be. I shed my tears for the both of you. It hurts me so much to know your no longer with us. My memories of the great times we had will never be forgotten. I will cherish them more every day. May you rest in peace Cheri, and watch over the families and help keep us at ease. I miss you and love you so much Aunt Cheri!
Love Always,
Jessica Lynn
