WASHINGTON — Authorities said the killings of the Savopoulos family in Washington D.C. was carried out by more than one person.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Police arrested 34-year-old Daron Dylon Wint, the prime suspect in the killing of a prominent Washington, DC family on Thursday night.
Police issued an arrest warrant on Wednesday for a suspect in last Thursday’s arson and quadruple homicide in an upscale neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The bodies of American Iron Works CEO Savvas Savopoulos, his wife, their 10-year-old son, and one of their housekeepers were found tied up inside the burning house on Thursday afternoon by firefighters.According to reports by Fox News and the Washington Post, police identified the suspect as 34-year-old Daron Dylon Wint by analyzing DNA from the crust of a pizza that was delivered to the home of the Savopoulos’ family in Northwest Washington the night before the arson. Police said a pizza delivery man confirmed that he delivered two pizzas to the Savopoulos’ family’s house just before midnight on May 13 and was paid with cash in an envelope.The next morning, Savvas Savopoulos’s personal assistant delivered a package containing $40,000 in cash to the Savopoulos’ house just hours before the fire.A second housekeeper for the Savopoulos family said she received a series of unusual voicemails and texts from the family beginning on the night of May 13 asking her not to come to their home the next day.Police records show phone calls were made among Savvas Savopoulos, a bank, an accountant, Savopoulos’ personal assistant, a construction company executive and American Iron Works in the hours before the fire, between 7 a.m. and just before noon.Savvas, his wife, Amy Savopoulos, and the housekeeper were found dead in chairs and were soaked with gasoline. The couple’s son Philip Savopoulos was found dead in his bed with wounds made by sharp objects on his body.
The lawyer for Amanda Knox says the American is "very upset" after an Italian court reconvicted her of slander for accusing an innocent man of killing her British roommate in 2007, a murder she herself was jailed for before being acquitted. "She was looking to have a final point," lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova tells journalists, referring to the 17 years of legal procedures following the 2007 killing, "so at the moment she is very upset".
