We’re undecided what’s extra disturbing about this crime, the violence or how little police appear to have to go on thus far.
A married couple had been out on a romantic late night time bicycle trip within the wee hours of Sunday morning in Daytona Seashore once they had been brutally killed — and thus far nobody is aware of why.

However this wasn’t a automotive crash. And it certain as hell wasn’t an accident. Daytona Seashore Police Chief Jakari Younger defined in a press convention on Sunday afternoon:
“Upon arrival, as soon as we noticed the accidents, we rapidly realized this was something however a success and run.”
Each victims had “a number of stab wounds and lacerations,” in response to Chief Younger, however straight away it was apparent to responding officers that the couple each had their throats slashed. As he lamented to reporters:
“I’ve gotta be trustworthy with you, this is likely one of the most vicious and grotesque incidents that I’ve witnessed in my 20 years.”
To associate with that disturbing imagery, there’s additionally the terrifying revelation that police have principally nothing to go on but by way of motive. They nonetheless don’t even know if this was a focused assault on one or the opposite of the couple or only a random act of violence, and so they occurred to be within the mistaken place on the mistaken time. With that in thoughts, anybody who lives within the space — the couple had been discovered on North Wild Olive Avenue — we’d warning to keep away from being out and about on bike or foot late at night time for some time.
One factor police do have a fairly good thought of? They’ve dominated out this being a theft because the couple did have valuables on their person who had been left behind on the scene. Chief Younger admitted:
“We are able to’t make heads or tails of it, presently.”
There’s apparently a potential particular person of curiosity, described quite vaguely as a male of unknown age and race carrying light-colored pants and carrying a backpack.
Sadly legislation enforcement at present have treasured few leads as no witnesses have come ahead, regardless of town being filled with bikers for the annual Daytona Seashore Bike Week. Younger revealed:
“Nobody noticed something, nobody heard something.”
Younger ended by promising justice for the as-yet-unidentified couple, declaring:
“I can let you know we’re going to go away no stone unturned till we work out the nexus as to why this occurred.”
We actually hope so.
