The details surrounding a quadruple-murder in Upstate New York are notably similar to another murder in 2014---that took place only a few miles away.
Police have not identified a suspect in the murders over the Christmas weekend in Troy, New York. The victims were two women and one of the women’s two children. Their names have not been released.
“It was the number of people killed, the manner in which they were killed,” Tedesco continued. “And the children being involved.”
Police, in reports, seemed to indicate that the suspects or suspects were known to the family.
In 2014, police discovered four bodies of two children and their parents in Guilderland, located a few miles from Troy. They were later identified as in Feng Chen, 39; wife, Hai Yan Li, 38; and sons, Anthony, 10; and Eddy, 7.
“There’s nothing that we’re not looking at,” New York state police Senior Investigator John Camp said at the time. “We’re trying to see: Is it human trafficking? Is it money laundering? Is it gang related? We’re basically leaving no leaf unturned.”
The Chinese family had been savagely killed in a similar manner as the family that was found dead over the weekend.
“We all believe that the house and the people were targeted,” Marcel Lajoy, who is an attorney who lived two homes down from where murders occurred, was quoted in 2015 by the NY Post as saying.
