Prosecutor: Father Used Cleaning Supplies To Cover Up Crime:
Reason to Blow Up the World...
Prosecutors said Randy Sylvester, 27, was the last person to see his 7-year-old son Randy Jr. and his 3-year-old daughter, Denim, alive on Father's Day. He has been charged with two counts of capital murder.
The district attorney's office said Sylvester used cleaning supplies to cover up the crime in his Pasadena apartment. An "unknown violent episode" was given as the preliminary cause of death until specialists can examine the burned bodies more carefully.
The children's charred remains were found early Saturday in a wooded area in southeast Houston off of Allendale Road near Old Galveston Road after police said Randy Sylvester told them to search there.
Police said Sylvester sublet his apartment to friends, but still had access to it. According to prosecutors, on the day the children went missing, Sylvester told his tenants they needed to leave the apartment for a few hours.
"When the two people went back to the apartment, there was an odor of cleaning supplies and the windows were open," prosecutor Stephen St. Martin said.
Prosecutors said a witness saw Sylvester on Father's Day putting a blue suitcase into the trunk of his car.
The burned remains of Denim were later found in a blue suitcase. The remains of Randy Jr. were found inside a wooden chest that used to be in Sylvester's apartment, according to authorities.
Sylvester was on probation for drug charges when his children were killed. He is being held without bond. Prosecutors said they have not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty.
Straight to the scoring on this one.
One point for each murder (2), one point for trying to cover up the crime with cleaning supplies, another point for burning their bodies, one more point for already being in hot water with the law on drug charges, and one last point for your idiotic story about how someone else killed your kids because of a 'debt'. That's six.
