SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Police say the suspect accused of killing four people in Sacramento initially confessed to his cousin.
KCRA-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2nPamGK ) that Sacramento Police Capt. Dave Peletta says 56-year-old Salvador Vasquez-Oliva called his cousin last week to admit to the slayings. The cousin then called police and repeated what he learned.
Investigators found 45-year-old Angelique Vasquez, her 14-year-old daughter Mia, her 11-year-old son Alvin and her 21-year-old niece Ashley Coleman dead on March 23. Vasquez-Oliva was Angelique Vasquez’s husband and the father of the two children.
Vasquez-Oliva has been charged with four counts of murder and is being held in the Sacramento County Jail.
His attorney was not immediately available for comment Thursday.
