A 30-year-old man was arrested and charged with double homicide on Monday after allegedly stabbing his father and his father’s girlfriend to death at their family home in Rome, NY.
The man, identified as Kyle J. Kirk by New York State police, was discovered on the driveway outside the family’s mobile home at 5959 Old Oneida Road in Oneida County on Monday morning after a neighbor called 911.
When state troopers arrived at the scene, they found Kyle outside the mobile home wearing blood-soaked clothing and instructed EMS to check on him.
But as he was being interviewed by emergency services, the troopers discovered Kyle’s father, 60-year-old Howard J. Kirk III, lying motionless on the ground with multiple stab wounds several yards away.
Upon entering the family’s mobile home, the troopers went on to find Howard’s girlfriend, 53-year-old Amanda L. Osborne, on the floor of the family trailer, having also sustained several stab wounds.
