The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office investigate an alleged double murder and attempted suicide at a home in St. Petersburg, Florida, on April 12 (WTSP/YouTube).
A Florida man stabbed and killed his girlfriend and her mother before he tried to take his own life, authorities say.
Kirk Hysell Jr., 41, stands accused of two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his 34-year-old girlfriend Christina Donzero and her 75-year-old mom Betti “Suzanne” Thevenet Donzero in St. Petersburg.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that Hysell’s daughter contacted 911 around 10 a.m. Saturday after her father called her to say he had committed the murders. Deputies responded to the 5200 block of 108th Street North and found Christina Donzero in a bedroom suffering from multiple stab wounds. They located her mother in the garage suffering from the same injuries. Medical personnel pronounced both victims dead at the scene.
