44-year-old Viktor Y. Glukhovsky, who works in the LAPD security department, has been charged with two counts of murder under aggravating circumstances, in particular with a view to obtaining financial benefits (details of this charge are not specified). With such charges, the man faces the death penalty, writes Fox11.

The investigation believes that 26 of December 2018 of the year Glukhovsky killed his 40-year-old wife Natalia and their teenage son Alexander in their apartment located on Oxnard Street.

The man first told the police that he had come home and found his wife and son dead, but during the investigation it turned out that his version of events was a lie.

“This horrific case of loss of life is incredibly disturbing, and the fact that the defendant is a civilian employee of the LAPD makes it even more disturbing. No one is above the law, and this Department will make every effort to bring anyone who commits such a violent act to justice,” the LAPD said in a statement.

The first meeting on the Glukhovsky case will take place on February 5. At the moment, the man remains in custody with the ability to go on bail 2 million dollars. If Glukhovsky is found guilty, he faces life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. The prosecutor's office has not yet decided whether to require the death penalty for the accused.

The case remains under investigation by the LAPD. Anyone who has information about this incident is asked to call Detective Santillan or Detective Sterns who investigate the killings by calling: (213) 486-6875 or (213) 486-6906.

On the portal GoFundMe There was a collection of money in the names of the victims; however, after collecting $ 12 thousand, the collection was stopped. It is unclear whether the police suspect that the purpose of receiving Glukhovsky profit was to raise funds because of the death of the family.
