A 29-year-old man has been booked into King County Jail as a suspect in a deadly double stabbing that occurred last Monday, Sept. 8 in Burien, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO).

As we previously reported, the tragic incident happened around 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 8 in an apartment in the 200 block of South 152nd Street, across from Highline High School.

Inside a third-floor unit, deputies found two other people dead.

If you appreciate our award-winning, local, independent journalism:

Police said the suspect was believed at first to have been one of the victims, discovered in the parking lot outside the apartment building with multiple, critical stab wounds.

Reports are that he may have stabbed himself, and KCSO investigators are still examining the “nature and origin” of his injuries.

The suspect is now in jail with bail set at $10 million.

The King County Prosecutor’s Office is expected to release additional documents and information soon, authorities said (and we’ll follow up with more info when it’s released).

This case remains under active investigation.
