The quintuple murder in Fall City involving a family has left the city in fear and shock. However, the authorities have managed to nab the villain in this story. Shockingly, it is a 15-year-old boy belonging to the same community— the same family!
Fall City Horror: Teen Arrested in Connection with 5 Brutal Murders
On Monday morning, the King County Sheriff’s Office arrested a teenager. In the early hours of the morning, residents of the Lake Alice neighborhood phoned the cops. They had been concerned about shootings in the home of a family. According to King5, eyewitnesses said that the occupants of the home included a couple and their five kids.
Once authorities appeared on the scene, they confirmed that the couple and three of their kids had died. About a day later, investigators determined that the adults murdered were Mark and Sarah Humiston. Alongside the couple were three teenage kids who also faced untimely death.
One young girl has been said to be a survivor of the Fall City family murder. Although she sustained injuries, she was treated by a neighbor. Fortunately, the child is now in stable condition in a local hospital. Sources confirmed that the victims lived happily with their five homeschooled kids. They were known in the area for their contributions, even in their local Methodist church.
But as the city mourns, the police are also doing their job by bringing the killer to justice. Allegedly the couple’s 15-year-old child has been accused of the crime. Following the tragedy, he appeared in court the next day. Upon hearing the case, the judge found reasonable cause for charges. This includes five counts of first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder. However, he has not been charged yet.
The suspect whose name has been withheld is being held in juvenile detention. The judge ordered that he must have no contact with surviving members of the family. Meanwhile, the defense claims that the suspect has no criminal records. He is set to appear in court on Friday.
