Portada del episodio The Court Gave Him A Deadline To Leave. He Gave Her One Too | The Story of Dr. Cerina Fairfax

Descripción

Dr. Cerina Fairfax was a respected Virginia dentist, mother of two, and the estranged wife of former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax. In April 2026, police say Justin Fairfax fatally shot Cerina Fairfax inside their Annandale, Virginia home before turning the gun on himself.In this episode of Women Who Stay, we look at the tragic death of Dr. Cerina Fairfax, the reported divorce and custody conflict, the court-ordered move-out deadline, and the warning signs that appeared in the weeks before the murder-suicide. Reports say the couple had separated, Cerina had filed for divorce, and Justin Fairfax had recently lost custody and been ordered to leave the family home.This case is a painful reminder that relationship danger can exist behind public image, professional success, and political power. Cerina Fairfax’s story deserves to be remembered beyond the headlines: as a woman, a mother, a doctor, and a life taken far too soon.TagsDr Cerina Fairfax, Justin Fairfax, Justin Fairfax murder suicide, Virginia Lt Governor, Annandale Virginia murder, Fairfax County murder suicide, Cerina Fairfax case, domestic violence true crime, Sources:PBS NewsHour — Patients and dental community mourn Dr. Cerina Fairfax: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/patients-and-dental-community-mourn-dr-cerina-fairfax-killed-by-virginia-ex-lt-gov-fairfaxWWBT — Patient remembers Dr. Cerina W.
