CLEVELAND - The grandson of a Cleveland couple found dead in their home Monday morning has officially been charged with their deaths.
Police took 29-year-old Anthony King into custody Monday evening when Parma police found him driving his deceased grandparents’ car, Cleveland police said. He is charged with aggravated murder and will appear in court at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday. King was being held in the Central Prison Unit while awaiting charges.
Cleveland police said the victims’ daughter discovered her mother, 72-year-old Wava King, bleeding on the couch and called 911. When officers arrived at the Virginia Avenue home, they found 75-year-old James King with head trauma in the basement.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s office said both died from blunt impacts to the head with skull and brain injuries.
"She was a really nice person. I can't believe this happened," Maribel Rodriguez said, a neighbor of the victims.
