Pizza order reportedly leads to suspect in DC slayings
Police in Washington, D.C., have issued a warrant for the arrest of a suspect in the slayings of a family and their housekeeper after testing DNA on a crust of a Domino’s pizza, according to law enforcement sources.
The pizza was ordered on May 13 as the victims were being held in their home, the Washington Post reports. Three anonymous law enforcement sources told the newspaper that the pizza DNA led to the suspect, Daron Dylon Wint.
Businessman Savvas Savopoulos, his wife, their 10-year-old son and their housekeeper were found dead the next day after a fire at their multimillion dollar home. Savopoulos’ personal assistant had dropped off $40,000 in cash before the fire.
Police said the victims had wounds consistent with blunt force or a sharp object, and the fire was arson. The couple also had two daughters who were at boarding school.
