Prosecutors identified the two victims and the man who allegedly fatally stabbed them before killing himself.
The three people found dead in a Springfield home last month after a double murder-suicide have been identified, prosecutors announced Monday.
Springfield police responded to the 1400 block of State Street the morning of Nov. 25 to a report of a stabbing, spokesperson Ryan Walsh said previously. Two men and a woman were found dead inside.
Khamkieo Chingvacha, 67, and Sachivanh Promphanh, 47, were identified as the two victims, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said Monday. Kung Kedjumnong, 43, allegedly stabbed both victims before killing himself, the DA said.
Kedjumnong and Pomphanh were from West Hartford, Connecticut, while Chingvacha lived in Springfield, officials said.
The investigation, conducted by Springfield police’s homicide unit and the DA’s office, is still active, the DA said.
A service was held for Phomphanh on Sunday, according to her online obituary.
