New incriminating pieces of evidence for 34-year-old African-American Daron Dylon Wint were released by police regarding the grisly homicides of prominent Greek-American businessman Savvas Savopoulos, his wife Amy, their 10-year-old son Philip, and their housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa, inside their multimillion-dollar home in Washington, DC.
DNA on a pizza crust found inside the mansion led law enforcement officials to believe that Wint is the man who killed the three prominent Washington family members and their housekeeper.
Authorities estimate that the 34-year-old African-American did not act alone. They also believe that after Wint killed the businessman, his wife, their son and the housekeeper, he decided to set the house on fire to cover any tracks that could prove his guilt.
According to CNN, investigators also found another important element, as forensic analysis matched traces of blood on Wint’s shoe to at least one of the murder victims, without specifying, however, which victim’s blood was found on the murderer’s shoe.
Wint plead not guilty telling police to look elsewhere for the guilty person, while a former housekeeper claims that the family rarely locked the house, located in a prestigious Washington neighborhood, one of the best guarded areas of the US capital.
US media continue to host extensive articles for the case, as well as reports about the victims’ funeral, with the couple’s two daughters that were not at home when the crime was committed being the story’s tragic figures.
