Another JP Morgan Bank Executive Commits Suicide July 2014.
JP Morgan executive director Julian Knott blasted his wife Alita multiple times to death with a shotgun before turning the gun on himself.
JEFFERSON — A Lake Hopatcong man shot his wife to death before taking his own life with the same weapon over the weekend, law enforcement authorities said Tuesday.
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and Jefferson Police said in a joint statement that a preliminary investigation shows both 45-year-old Julian Knott and 47-year-old Alita Knott died of gunshot wounds. The statement comes a bit more than two days after the two were found dead in their Lake Hopatcong home, which they purchased earlier this year.
Alita Knott, 47, and her husband Julian Knott, 45, were found dead inside their $600,000.00 Log Road home early 1:28 am Sunday morning, law enforcement officials said.

The statement said no other information about the deaths would be released at this time. It did not describe a motive. It said the determination the deaths were a case of murder-suicide was the result of an “extensive investigation conducted by the Jefferson Township Police Department, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the Morris County Medical Examiner’s Office.”
The Knotts were affluent world travelers who have two teenage sons and a college-age daughter. A close friend of the family who lives in Dublin, Ohio told The Star-Ledger a detective interviewed him in person about the couple Monday afternoon.
Alita Knott was most recently a sales associate with Coldwell Banker’s Chester/Hackettstown office, according to her biography on the company’s website. The biography has since been removed.
She was born in the Philippines, and worked in Mindoro as a teacher, according to the biography. She moved to Bahrain and worked as the personal assistant of a sheik’s wife, through which she had the opportunity to travel extensively, it says.
She met Julian Knott in London, got married and started her own pre-school nursery business, the biography says. Julian Knott’s work “took us to the Mid West, Dublin Ohio, and more recently across to the East Coast, New Jersey,” it says.
The family rented a home in Succasunna before purchasing the single-family Lake Hopatcong near the end of a cul-de-sac in April for $600,000.
