Homicide squad detectives have charged the suspect, Ashley Bruno Grillo, with one count of murder.

Acting Superintendent Jessica Securo stated that police had seized blades from the home, which may have been used as weapons.
The deceased's body showed obvious injuries, and authorities are treating the death as a suspected family violence homicide. Forensic investigators examined a patch of overturned soil in the backyard after the body was discovered.
