Just how sick is Daron Dylon Wint? The ex-convict is the prime suspect in the quadruple murder of the Savopoulos family. What could possible motivate Wint to torture and murder this
family? Wint was born and raised in Guyana. He moved to the United States
in 2000. Wint enlisted in the marines but was discharged shortly after
enlistment for medical reasons. In 2009, Wint assaulted a girlfriend. In
2010, Wint plead guilty to destruction of property. At that time he had
allegedly threatened to kill a woman. Also in 2010, Wint was arrested
outside of American Iron Works while carrying a two foot machete.
At some point, Went became a certified welder. In fact, he
once had a job working for Savopoulos' company, American Iron Works. The
company is a construction materials supplier in Hyattsville, Maryland.
Savopoulos lived in a mansion near Vice President Joe Biden's home in Woodley
Park. The neighborhood is well patrolled and Savvas , his wife and their son
Phillip resided in the home while two other children were away at school.
The
day before the slaying, Savopoulos spent time at a martial arts studio he was
opening in Northern Virginia. His wife called a house keeper and left a strange
voice mail. Shortly before their death,
someone ordered Domino's Pizza. Apparently, Wint's DNA was left on some
pizza crust which led to his arrest. (The crust may have been found outside the home in a dumpster.) While we may never know what thoughts
haunted Wint, may we assume that he was mentally ill beyond the point of ever
being allowed back in society? Savvas Savopoulos was 46, his wife Amy 47 and their son Phillip, but a child.
Wint is to be considered innocent unless otherwise proven in a court of law.
