WILLIAMS, Ariz. — A man was arrested after he allegedly killed his wife and her sister at a home north of Williams, according to the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office said it was contacted by the Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper Sunday after he was flagged down by a man while driving on a country road in the Red Lake area.
Gustavo Espino, 60, reported he had killed his wife and sister, telling the trooper "something to the effect that he couldn’t take it anymore," according to CCSO.
After responding to Espino's home, deputies found two women dead inside the home. The suspect admitted his involvement in their deaths when interviewed by detectives.
The victims were identified as Elaine Fann,70, and her sister Vivian Scheuerman, 65.
CCSO said both victims lived at Fann's home, both were shot and appeared to have died as a result of the injuries, but results from autopsies are pending.
According to CCO Espino also lived with the victims and he was believed to be Fann's boyfriend and business partner or employee.
Espino was booked into Coconino County Detention Facility on two counts of murder. He's being held on $2 million bond.
The investigation is ongoing.
