A couple killed each other in Washington state, USA. On Halloween night (October 31), they got into a fight at their home and were killed by each other. The couple's 11-year-old son was playing video games in another room at the time. American media The New York Post reported.
Investigating officers said that the tragic murder took place on October 31, Halloween night. The couple's child was playing video games in another room with earbuds in his ears. As a result, he knew nothing about the whole matter until his parents' bodies were found.
According to the report of the New York Times, detectives have not yet determined who was the first attacker among the victims.
The deceased were identified as 38-year-old Juan Antonio Alvarado Saenz and 39-year-old Cecilia Robles Ochoa. Both of them have severe injuries on their bodies.
Alvarado Saenz died of multiple stab wounds to the chest, according to a statement from the local sheriff's office. And Robles Ochoa's body has stab wounds and gunshot wounds.
The boy called the emergency service hotline nine-one-one after finding his parents' frozen bodies in the kitchen. Rescue workers attended the scene but could not save the couple.
Authorities have confirmed that no one was present in the house at the time of the incident except the son of the deceased couple.
According to a statement from the sheriff's office, investigating officers learned that Alvarado Saenz and Robles Ochoa had a long-standing marital dispute. They were also planning a divorce.
A knife and a firearm were recovered from the spot. The firearm was later found to have been stolen from Alvarado Saenz's workplace. However, the theft charges were not filed until after the murder.
