Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania – A tragic incident unfolded in a Montgomery County home, where authorities discovered the bodies of Durdona Sultanova, 43, and her ex-husband Al Allaberg, 44, inside a walk-in closet in the residence’s primary bedroom. The Lower Moreland Police responded to a 911 call from younger residents in the home on Saturday at 4:38 p.m., revealing a chilling murder-suicide scene.
According to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, a forensic pathologist determined that Sultanova had gunshot wounds to the chest and head, indicating a homicide. Allaberg, on the other hand, suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, leading to his suicide. The tragedy adds to a weekend of violence near Philadelphia, with separate incidents in Falls Township and Newtown Township heightening concerns.
In Falls Township, a 26-year-old man reportedly shot and killed three individuals, including his 13-year-old sister, before barricading himself. The tense situation ended with the suspect being apprehended in New Jersey the following day, as authorities worked to secure the area and keep residents safe. Meanwhile, Newtown Township residents experienced a shelter-in-place order following a call about an armed individual involved in a physical assault. Law enforcement intervention was necessary to resolve the situation peacefully.
The series of violent events underscores the importance of community safety measures and the challenges faced by law enforcement in maintaining peace. As families and neighbors grapple with the tragic losses and the impact on their communities, support systems and resources are crucial in dealing with the aftermath of such incidents.
