A 15-year-old boy allegedly slaughtered all but one member of his entire family in their Washington state lakeside house last week, and recent court records obtained by Fox News Digital detail his sole surviving sister’s terrifying escape from death.
When deputies arrived at the home in Lake Alice, Washington on Oct. 21, they discovered a “significant crime scene” — the deceased bodies of two adults and three children — and they immediately took the male teen into custody, King County Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Mellis said in a media briefing.
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as parents Mark Humiston, 43, and Sarah Humiston, 42, and their children, Benjamin, 13, Joshua, 9, and Katheryn, 7.
While the suspect was named in the obtained documents, a judge on Friday prohibited the media’s release of his identity.
