The 55-year-old is believed to be a relative of the couple.
Relatives of Mr and Mrs Musai who were wed earlier this year were distraught and were seen comforting each other outside their home after emergency services arrived.
The couple were found on the front porch of their house with gunshot wounds to their upper bodies.
‘This guy just jumped out of the bush into my peripheral vision, and then he put a gun to his chin and pulled it,’ a witness, Lewis Thorne told Nine News.
The couple had wed earlier this year and were shot on the front porch of their house on Tuesday morning
‘He got up somehow after that and then about two or three minutes later, he did the same thing again to himself.’

Multiple streets surrounding the vicinity were blocked off for most of the day.
Police say they are not looking for any other offenders.
