Man charged with killing wife, son on boy's 11th birthday
LAKE MARY, Fla. A man was charged with fatally stabbing his wife and son on the boy's 11th birthday, authorities said Saturday.
Nico Duzant ran from his home while his father, Franklyn Duzant, 40, chased him to a neighbor's front yard Friday, said Seminole County Sheriff's Lt. Dennis Lemma. The father repeatedly stabbed the boy with an "edged" object, Lemma said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities responding to the home found the body of the man's wife, Evangeline Duzant, 52, who also was killed with the same object as her son, Lemma said.
A motive for the attacks was not known.
"It was just an absolute gruesome scene," Lemma said. "We're trying to repaint the picture of what led up to this."
Franklyn Duzant underwent surgery at Orlando Regional Medical Center for injuries to his stomach, Lemma said. He was in stable condition Saturday.
"At this point, we don't know how he the suspect got these injuries," Lemma said. "We don't know if they were self-inflicted or if there was a struggle."
Duzant has been charged with two counts of first degree premeditated murder. Investigators have not had a chance to talk with him because he has been sedated, Lemma said.
