BUFORD -- The Gwinnett County woman who was found dead last weekend at her home was buried Friday, the same day that prosecutors said her dentist husband is considered a suspect in the slaying.

Funeral services for Jennifer Corbin, 33, were held at 3:30 p.m. at Sugar Hill United Methodist Church. The woman's husband, Barton, attended the ceremony with his relatives.

"Right now I'm so angry," Heather Tierney, the woman's sister, said through tears during the funeral. "I'm so angry but if one thing I know is that love is a million times stronger than anger. And today isn't about being angry. It's about my beautiful sister."

The woman's body was found last Saturday at her home in Buford, with a revolver next to her on a bed. Authorities initially suspected the death was a suicide, but have now concluded that it was a homicide.

She died from a gunshot wound to the head, authorities have said.

Gwinnett District Attorney Danny Porter has told news reporters that the woman's husband, Barton Corbin, is considered a suspect in the slaying. The couple was going through a divorce.

"My office has considered Barton Corbin a possible suspect ever since late Saturday, when enough information had developed to consider her death a homicide," Porter told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Friday. "In my opinion, saying you have ruled out a person as a suspect or saying that they are is a distinction without a difference."

Porter told reporters that he noted that information in court papers so that the couple's two young children would be placed in the custody of Jennifer Corbin's family.

During an emergency, closed-door hearing, Gwinnett Superior Court Judge Richard Winegarden ruled Thursday that the woman's sister and her husband could have indefinite custody of her two young sons, Dalton, 5, and Dillon, 7.

"There is nothing we can do to get Jen back," Tierney said. "We just want to protect these kids."

The boys' father was not present during the hearing.

An attorney for the husband said his client is innocent and that Corbin is cooperating with police.

Law enforcement authorities in Augusta told reporters that they are following the Gwinnett case to see what transpires.

In 1990, a woman dating Barton Corbin, who at the time was a dental school student, died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Richmond County authorities have never determined whether the death of Dorothy Hearn, 27, was a homicide or a suicide, the AJC reported.

Sgt. Scott Peeples told the newspaper that they consider Corbin to be a "person of interest" in the case.
