NEW YORK – A woman, a teenager and a dog were found dead in a Brooklyn apartment building, according to police sources.
Police were called shortly after 2:30 p.m. Monday to an apartment on New York Avenue near Avenue D in East Flatbush, police sources said. Responding officers found a 37-year-old woman face up in the living room with stab cuts to her face, along with a 14-year-old girl who was found face down with bruises on her head.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene. A dog was also found dead in the home, and two law enforcement sources told NBC New York that the canine had a bag over its head.
Police may have been called to the apartment on Friday after another person reported hearing screams from inside the home. Whoever went to the apartment on Monday and called police had not heard from the family since Friday and broke down the front door to make the surprising discovery.
According to police sources, the 38-year-old man who discovered the bodies on Monday was being questioned by authorities.
No further details were immediately available.
