Maybe the male and female gouramis are getting ready to breed, and killed the other fish coz they were invading on their breeding territory or something?

It is close to impossible to guess how your fish died with that much information, maybe you can tell us more?

IMO at least

Sounds like the male gourami is getting aggressive. He may want to mate. When this is happening they are very territorial and aggressive to any other fish.

Yes, if you can put her into another tank, or he will kill her.
