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

However this wasn’t a automobile crash. And it positive 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 line with 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 among the most vicious and grotesque incidents that I’ve witnessed in my 20 years.”
To go together 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, they usually occurred to be within the mistaken place on the mistaken time. With that in thoughts, anybody who lives within the space — the couple have 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 have been left behind on the scene. Chief Younger admitted:
“We will’t make heads or tails of it, right now.”
There may be apparently a attainable individual of curiosity, described quite vaguely as a male of unknown age and race sporting light-colored pants and carrying a backpack.
Sadly legislation enforcement presently have valuable few leads as no witnesses have come ahead, regardless of town being full of 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 depart no stone unturned till we work out the nexus as to why this occurred.”
We actually hope so.
