WASHINGTON — Investigators found a bloodied baseball bat in one of the rooms of the D.C. house where three family members and their housekeeper were found dead last month, according to an affidavit for a search warrant.
On May 14, Savvas Savopoulos, 46, his wife Amy, 47, and their housekeeper Vera Figueroa, 57, were found cut or stabbed and beaten to death in the Savopoulos’ $4.5 million house in Northwest D.C. The couple’s 10-year-old son Phillip was burned to death after the home had been set on fire.
An affidavit released Wednesday says a man was located in a bedroom on the upper level of the house with trauma to the back of his head as well as a “baseball bat with what appeared to be blood on it.” Also in the bedroom was “what appeared to be a woman with lacerations to her throat and head.”
The two were found in the same room as Figueroa, who was given CPR and transported to a local hospital. She later died.
Phillip Savopoulos was found in another bedroom “suffering from severe fire damage,” the affidavit says.
Daron Wint is the only person police have arrested in relation to the kidnapping, deaths and the fire. He is charged with first-degree murder. Police identified Wint from DNA left on a piece of pizza crust found at the home.
In documents explaining the charges against Wint, police write that he did not act alone and had the help of more than one person.
