The bodies of an American couple in their 30s were found in their home in Florida.
One cop described the murder-suicide as the ‘most gruesome’ crime scene he has ever witnessed in his almost four-decade career.
Police arrived at the residence of Zachary John Winton. 34, and Sabrina Marie Dumdei, 37, after their bodies were found by Dumdei’s father.
The concerned father went to the apartment complex to visit his daughter when he saw her unresponsive on the floor.
Bradenton Beach Police Chief Sam Speciale said to Anna Maria Island Sun: “He broke a door window to gain entry and found her on the floor.”
Winton and Dumdei were pronounced dead at the scene.
The police chief said he could not confirm how the couple died when asked if the wounds appeared to be from a knife, handgun, or a different weapon.
Speciale said: “We have no idea. All I can tell you is there’s a lot of blood. We’re waiting to find out exactly where the wounds are and what they consist of.”
Sgt. Lenard Diaz said in a statement to the Anna Maria Island Sun that the deaths seemed to be a ‘possible murder-suicide.’
“This is probably the most gruesome crime scene I’ve ever worked – the worst in 37 years that I’ve ever seen,” Diaz said.
“It’s going to be really hard to put together what occurred, what the chronological events were that led up to the actual deaths.
“Going through the crime scene and photos, I’ll try to put something together, but it’s going to be speculation because there’s no witnesses and nobody saw anything.”
