COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A 19-year-old was under arrest Tuesday for allegedly fatally stabbing his younger brother and sister and also attacking his father in their Colorado home.
Officers were called to the Colorado Springs home at about 1 a.m. and found a 5-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy, along with the father of all three, who had also been stabbed, police spokesman Lt. Howard Black said. Officers tried to save the lives of the children, who later died of their injuries at a hospital.
The father, whose name has not been released, was in serious but stable condition Tuesday and expected to survive, Black said.
The 19-year-old, Malik Vincent Murphy, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.
Black said it is too early to say what led up to the stabbings.
Other people were in the house at the time. Investigators are interviewing them to find out more about what happened and talking to neighbors and other family members to find out more about what the family was like, Black said.
