[NY Post] An illegal migrant wanted for murder in the Dominican Republic is accused of "horrifically" killing a family of four in upstate New York last month as firefighters made the gruesome discovery during a house call. Julio Cesar Pimentel-Soriano, 34, allegedly used a "sharp object" to fatally stab Fraime Ubaldo, 30, Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 26, Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno, 4, and Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno, 2, inside their Irondequoit home on Aug. 31, according to a felony complaint viewed by WHAM.
He allegedly stabbed each victim in the neck and chest multiple times.
"Obviously, the allegations are troubling," Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles told the outlet. "They are difficult to deal with. They are difficult to see."
"It seems like this family was very well-liked and very active in their community, so obviously my condolences go out to their family, friends, and neighbors who had to suffer through this," Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles said.
Firefighters were called to the residence around 5:23 a.m. on Aug. 31 for multiple fires around the home before they discovered the family of four’s bodies.
Investigators determined that it was "readily apparent" their deaths were from a homicide, and not the fire.
"This was a horrific scene," Irondequoit Police Chief Scott Peters said, holding back tears at a press conference Friday. "In almost 32 years of doing this job I’ve never seen anything like it."
