Phoenix (Azfamily) – The first police officer at the place of double murder in 2016 gave graphic testimony in the courtroom of Maricopa County on Thursday.
The defendant in the Kimberly Lakunt case has been accused of using his lover Kipling Harris to kill her husband and mother -in -law and describes himself by prosecutors as a “leader” behind the murder.
In the courtroom, the state showed more pictures of the crime scene. The photos were shared as a projector for both witnesses and jurors to see.
The evidence included both the jeep and the corridor where two victims were found.
First at the stand was Robert McDonald, the Glendale police sergeant, who was one of the first officers on the place on the night of June 6, 2016.
“I approached the house, saw extra blood on the sidewalk and an individual descended into a jeep,” he recalled.
Alice Kun, Lacounty’s wife, was shot while sitting in her jeep on the alley.
“I just remember a large amount of blood on the face and decided that there was some injury to the neck area,” McDonald in detail.
The prosecutor’s office also showed pictures of bloody prints leading from the vehicle to the home.
McDonald described after the path in the garage and described in detail the moment he walked through the security door and the hallway inside the home.
It was there that he said he had found the second victim, 65-year-old Peggy Kun, Alice’s mother.
“I watched for a moment and watched an elderly lady on the ground covered with blood and she did not respond,” he told prosecutors.
McDonald said that after he realized that there could be more people inside, he urged them to go out.
He said Lacount had come out of a bedroom with two children who were 7 and 8 years old at the time.
“You described Miss Lacount at least once as a frantic. Is it right? “The state asked.
“Yes, she was when he entered the hall. I could say that she is emotional, ”McDonald replied.
“So when you say an emotional answer, you also talk about what it looked like. Something that was afraid, at least? “The prosecutor asked.” Surely, “McDonald confirmed.
Harris also shot Peggy Robert’s wife in his head, but he survived.
At that time, police believed that lacant could be in danger.
But a month later, police arrested her. She is now facing a conspiracy to commit murder and prosecutors plan to continue the death penalty if found guilty.
Harris was sentenced to several crimes, including murder in 2023 and was sentenced to life in prison.
