A 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman, Verity Beck, is facing murder charges after her parents were found dead this week inside the Abington Township home where she lived.
"After eventually entering the home, officers encountered the couple’s adult daughter inside," the office said in a statement."Officers observed one deceased person tightly wrapped in a white bed sheet, and evidence of a second deceased person inside the home. There were signs of extreme trauma present."
The district attorney’s office said that while searching the property, a"chainsaw was located near one of the bodies, and both individuals were in various stages of dismemberment.
"It was one shot to each of their heads," Steele told reporters Wednesday."We hope and pray that that happened first." The district attorney’s office said that Beck lived in the home and is now being held without bail at Montgomery County Correctional Facility on charges of first-degree and third-degree murder. The motive for the killings was not immediately clear, but WPVI, citing investigators who had spoken to Beck’s brother, reported that Verity had told him that things at the home had"been bad."
"We did find evidence in the house of a safe that had been attempted to be broken into and we also believe this happened over a period of some time," added Steele. Their voices were last heard by a family member on the 7th of January, so we believe that they may have been decomposing in that time and that was also unfortunately the smell that the officers got when they first came into the house – and sadly that is a very distinctive smell.
