ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — Detectives are investigating a double homicide after two women were found dead in their home Saturday, police say.
Officers responded to a reported homicide on 108th St. North on Saturday morning and arrived at the home to find the two victims, 34-year-old Christina Donzero and 75-year-old Betti “Suzanne” Thevenet Donzero, with multiple stab wounds.
Both women were pronounced dead on the scene.
Police say the suspect, 41-year-old Kirk Hysell Jr., barricaded himself in the bathroom of the home.
Hysell was suffering from multiple self-inflicted injuries and was transported to the hospital, where he remains until he is transferred to the Pinellas County Jail.
According to detectives, Hysell told his daughter that he had killed his girlfriend and her mother, and she then called 911.
Detectives say Hysell admitted to the murders and said he initially planned to kill the whole family, and that he would “do it again” if he were released.
Hysell has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
