Authorities in Arizona charged a young man with the brutal quadruple slaying of his family that horrified the community in Casa Grande over the weekend.
Pinal County Sheriff’s deputies responded to 21-year-old Richard Wilson’s home after receiving a “frantic call” at around 1:45 p.m. Sunday.
Once at the scene, they found Wilson’s father Richard Wilson Sr., 47; His mother Ellen Otterman, 50; Sister Rudy Wilson, 15; and niece Renaya White, 5, dead.
The victims appeared to have been beaten before being stabbed to death; Wilson reportedly was covered in blood when police arrived.
“This act of depraved violence will have long-lasting effects on all those who knew this family,” Sheriff Mark Lamb said calling the incident a “terrible tragedy.”
“While nothing will bring their loved ones back, I send my prayers and support to everyone affected.”
Wilson was busted at the scene and charged with four counts of first-degree murder. He reportedly told deputies "I'm over here, take me to jail," before requesting his medication.
