Correction: DC Mansion Fire-Slayings story

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a story July 20 about a court hearing in the case of four people slain at a Washington mansion, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Katerina Savopoulos was in court during a hearing Monday for the man accused of killing her parents and brother.

Detective: DNA from construction vest, money trail links suspect to slayings of DC family

WASHINGTON (AP) — DNA from a man accused in the slayings of wealthy Washington family and their housekeeper was found on a construction vest inside a car stolen from the family's home, and a man driving the car was seen wearing a similar vest in the aftermath of the slayings, a detective testified Monday.

A judge cited the DNA and other evidence against 34-year-old Daron Wint in finding probable cause that he committed first-degree murder and ordered him held without bond pending further court proceedings.

Police recovered more than $30,000 in cash and money orders from the two vehicles, including $20,000 from the truck, and Wint's brother told police that Wint had given him the money, Owens said.

In arguing that authorities had not established probable cause, Wint's public defender, Arthur Ago, cited a lack of physical evidence linking Wint to the crime other than the DNA from the vest and from a pizza crust at the scene.

DNA testing on numerous pieces of physical evidence inside the home, including duct tape and a baseball bat, has not been completed, Owens said.
