Was there more than one killer in the brutal Washington D.C. mansion murder?

Police now believe there is no way 47-year-old Daron Dylon Wint could have acted alone in the torture and murder of a wealthy DC family and their housekeeper.

The man who slaughtered a Washington, D.C. family had help, authorities believe, and they’re looking for whoever that was.

Court documents that were released recently on the brutal killing of 46-year-old Savvas Savopoulos, 47-year-old Amy, his wife, 10-year-old son Philip, and the family housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa, indicate that police don’t think that 47-year-old Daron Dylon Wint, who was arrested in connection with the crime, acted alone, according to a CBS News report.

Authorities found the family and the housekeeper dead and the home lit on fire, as well as the family car which was later found in flames. Wint faces charges of first-degree felony murder while armed.

Polie say that Wint and possibly others held hte family and the housekeeper captive from about 6 p.m. May 13 into the afternoon hours of the next day. Savvas Savopoulos’ assistant was instructed to leave $40,000 in cash in the garage, and the family was held captive until the money arrived.

The assistant told police he got a call from his boss on Thursday and was asked to pick up a package at American Iron Works, a company that Savopoulos was the CEO of, and was then to deliver that package to his house. The assistant did as he was told, meeting up with another employee at American Iron Works and going to a bank in Hyattsville, Md., to get a manilla envelope filled with money. They then came to the Savopoulos residence, where he left the envelope inside the garage.

However, authorities say the assistant’s testimony was inconsistent, and the assistant later admitted he lied about some details.

The cause of the deaths was both blunt force and sharp force trauma, and the bodies of all three adults showed signs of it. The son was found on a bed in a nearby bedroom with both thermal and sharp force injuries. The first was set in that room.

Police also say that two Domino’s pizza boxes were in the home. Amy Savopoulos apparently ordered the pizza Wednesday night. Skin cells on the pizza crust led police to Wint.
