Three people have been found inside a San Diego home and two of the dead bodies have been identified by investigators, whom they believe the cause of death is a case of a murder suicide.
According to The New York Daily News, one of the women was identified as the daughter of the man who owns the home where the bodies were found. The first victim was identified as Hannah Arya, 15 years old. The father, identified as Michael Arya, who died April this year due to lung cancer, bought the property just months before he passed away.
The other victim was said to be a longtime friend of the father of the victim. She has been identified as 56-year-old Mia Shin. She is also said to be a real estate broker from Los Angeles. The two victims were identified by relatives and their friends on social media.
Outside the home, officials found a car that was parked in the driveway. It is said to be registered to Michael's sister, Sayeh Amini. However, officials have not yet issued a statement regarding the possibility of Amini being the third body found inside the San Diego home.
A family friend said that there was an inheritance dispute between Hannah and Amini but officials have not confirmed the statement yet. There have been no official statements regarding the motive of the killing either. The causes of death of the three people have not been released as well.
Hannah attended Verde Valley boarding school in Sedona, Arizona when she was still alive. Her mother reportedly is not staying at the same state as her daughter as she lives in Oregon. Friends and families of Hannah said that Shin was trying to look out for the teenager when her father died.
A friend of one of the victims reportedly called 911 leading police officials to discover the bodies on Monday this week. Lt. Kenneth Nelson of the San Diego Sheriff's Department said in a statement, "They were able to look through a kitchen window and saw what appeared to be a female adult unresponsive inside the house." The three victims were found in different rooms of the home.
