Two men in their sixties were found shot to death outside a home in suburban Chicago that had been set on fire just days after their mother had died, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Around 3:50 AM on June 5, the Highland Park fire and police departments responded to a call about a fire on a roof of a home in Highland Park, Front Page Detectives has reported.
Firefighters responded to a home in Highland Park for a fire, officials said.
Multiple fire trucks arrived on the scene, and first responders reportedly noted "heavy fire conditions."
While searching the home, first responders located the two deceased victims. Other firefighters entered the residence to search for other victims, but did not find any.
At the home, police said they found the victim tied to a tree.
The victims were identified as brothers Marc Austwick, 63, and 60-year-old John Austwick. The coroner said the pair had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
According to police, the brothers' mother, 84-year-old Phyllis Austwick, died on May 31, and there was a memorial scheduled for her on June 8, three days after the blaze occurred, WGN-TV reported.
A Florida mother attempted a similar meet-up plan when she discovered a man was texting her 13-year-old daughter.
Investigators determined 54-year-old Jeffrey S. Austwick killed his two brothers during a discussion about the home owned by their mother.
Police said Austwick shot his brothers and then set the house on fire.
After days on the run, Foreman was arrested by police on Sept. 16.
George Spathis, who lives behind the burned house, told WGN, “I feel badly for the people who knew this family who now have to go about just dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy."
