A 10-year-old boy is the sole survivor of a murder-suicide that killed his entire family.
The boy awoke and located his mom and three brothers lifeless alongside his father who’s believed to be behind the deaths.
It’s not identified why Jonathan Sweet, 42, murdered his spouse Lindsay, 39, and sons Lucas, 12, Ethan, 14, and Dylan, 18, or why he spared his youngest son.
Sergeant Gary Knight mentioned that the boy known as 911 saying he had simply woken up and located their bodies.
The motive of the taking pictures on the 2800 block of Mirage Avenue in Oklahoma Metropolis, USA, stays unknown.
It’s believed the dad and mom had an argument late on Sunday night time, April 21, or early on Monday morning, April 22.
Sgt Knight mentioned: “Sooner or later he armed himself with a gun, he shot her a number of instances, killing her.
“At that time he systematically went by means of the house taking pictures and killing the kids.”
When police arrived, he described the scene as “carnage”.
He mentioned: “Make no mistake about it, what occurred in that residence was nothing in need of a massacre.”
Cops mentioned they don’t doubt the boy saying that he slept by means of the taking pictures. He known as cops shortly after 9.30am.
Sgt Knight mentioned: “The door (to his room) was closed and there was a field fan operating. There is no such thing as a indication he didn’t sleep by means of it.”
He was not injured and is beneath the care and custody of family members.
The household had no earlier contact with regulation enforcement or history of home violence, and there had been no police calls to their house, in keeping with Knight.
“It stays a thriller as to what caused Mr Sweet to homicide his spouse and three of his children,” said a police report.
