Authorities in St. Petersburg, Florida, have charged KIRK HYSELL JR., 41, with two counts of first-degree murder following the gruesome killings of his girlfriend and her mother. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office revealed that the suspect also dismembered one of the victims’ bodies.
The incident unfolded on Saturday when a 911 call reported two women dead at a residence. Deputies arrived to find 34-year-old CHRISTINA DONZERO dead in a bedroom, suffering from multiple stab wounds. In the garage, they discovered 75-year-old BETTI SUZANNE THEVENET DONZERO, who had also been fatally stabbed, according to an official news release.
An arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital disclosed that one of the women was suffocated and stabbed to death, while the other was stabbed and dismembered. The sheriff’s office has not yet confirmed which victim was dismembered.
KIRK HYSELL JR. was found in the home’s bathroom with self-inflicted injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment. Detectives said he allegedly admitted to his daughter that he had killed his girlfriend, prompting her to call 911. The affidavit further stated that Hysell verbally directed family members to the victims’ bodies.
Officials revealed that Hysell confessed to the murders, stating he initially planned to kill the entire family. He also allegedly claimed he would target other family members if released, vowing to “do it again.”
Upon his release from the hospital, Hysell will be transferred to the Pinellas County Jail. The investigation remains ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge.
