A man was found to have tortured and killed a CEO, his wife, their 10-year-old son and their housekeeper in their home in Washington. The police was able to identify the suspect when they found a DNA sample on the pizza crust they ordered whilst the torture was ongoing.

The police identified the suspect as Daron Dylon Wint, 34, who tortured the four victims and subsequently burned their $4.5 million home on Thursday. The spokesperson of the police department said the detectives have not determined the connection that Wint has with the family, as well as his present whereabouts. The victims were identified as Savvas Savopoulos, CEO of American Iron Works, Inc.; his wife, Amy; son, Phillip; and their 57-year-old housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa.

Two other people were believed to have visited the home of the Savopouloses during the incident: the pizza delivery guy and the family’s assistant. The killers were reported to have ordered pizza from a local Domino’s branch and had it delivered in the house of the family. The branch of the said pizza parlor confirmed that they indeed received an order and delivered it as instructed. In addition, the assistant of the family was said to have brought a package containing $40,000 to his boss’ home, police reported to the Washington Post. It is believed that the suspects knew that the said package would be dropped to the house that day. Earlier this week, police footage was able to capture a man in dark hooded shirt moving rapidly behind the building.

The house was lit afire and when the firefighter arrived, the package and the couple’s Porsche were nowhere to be found. Later that afternoon, the car was seen in a car park. The remains of the victims were found at the second floor of the house. The adults were tied to chairs, whilst the kid whose body was severely lacerated and unrecognisable was found on bed, said Fox News. The police believed that at least three of the victims experienced blunt force trauma prior to the fire. The incident is being referred to as an arson.
