A married couple stabbed, shot, and eventually killed each other last week in a gruesome fight inside their Washington State home, all while their 11-year-old son played video games in another room.
The boy was wearing earbuds as his parents were “assaulting each other” on Halloween, officials said.
He didn’t realize what happened until he found their bodies.
Investigators are not able to say who was the primary aggressor in the Oct. 31 deaths in Longview, a city on the Washington side of the Columbia River about 50 miles east of Portland, Oregon.
The victims were identified as Juan Antonio Alvarado Saenz, 38, and Cecilia Robles Ochoa, 39.
Alvarado Saenz died from multiple stab wounds to the chest, police said, while Robles Ochoa was stabbed and shot, the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office said.
The boy called 911 after finding his bloodied parents on the kitchen floor.
He was the only other person in the home at the time.
EMTs tried but couldn’t revive the couple.
Detectives have since learned Alvarado Saenz and Robles Ochoa “had relationship issues and intended to separate,” the sheriff’s office said.
One knife and a gun were recovered from the scene.
The sheriff said the firearm used in the incident “is confirmed to have been stolen from Alvarado Saenz’s employer and was not discovered to be missing until after this incident.”
Have people just gone freaking CRAZY? What about divorce or a separation if the marriage is in trouble? No just kill each other and leave your minor son to find your bloody bodies. Just scar him for life And what is with the stolen gun? Sounds like the man maybe had the. motive and din’t think he’d die also. What a senseless mess
Sounds very fishy. Are we sure this is not a convenient quick solution to a case about two latino dead bodies . The woman was shot and still managed to stab the husband to death OR the husband always carry a gun with him when the wife decided to stab him….while their kid played in another room?…This almost sound like the suicide case that was tie up and police claimed he tied himself before commiting suicide
