Three young adults found dead near New York state college
Police in the US state of New York are investigating the deaths of two college students and one former student as a murder-suicide.
The bodies were discovered after police responded to a home in Geneseo, New York around 6 am Sunday following a 911 call from a family member of one of the victims.
The victims were identified as 21-year-old Kelsey Annese, of Webster, New York, 24-year-old Matthew Hutchinson, of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and 24-year-old Colin Kingston, of Geneseo.
Police said Annese and Hutchinson were students at SUNY Geneseo State College. They said Kingston was a former student.
Police said no firearm was used, but a knife was recovered. Police said they believe the perpetrator might be one of the victims, but it was too soon to say which one.
"At this time, it's too early in our investigation to label this a murder-suicide," Geneseo Police Public Information Officer Jeffrey Szczesniak told local news media.
"We have experienced a terrible tragedy in Geneseo today involving members of our community,” SUNY Geneseo President Denise A. Battles said in a news release. “The loss of Kelsey, Matthew and Colin has profoundly affected our campus community. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of all involved."
Geneseo, which describes itself as "one of the most selective public colleges in the country," has approximately 5,600 full-time undergraduate students.
