Suspect in Mansion Murders Hires Fairfax Attorney: Report

Daron Wint, the suspect in the DC mansion murders, has hired a new attorney, Sean Hanover from Fairfax, according to a report by the Associated Press. Wint was in court Tuesday.

Wint is “encouraged about the case,” said Hanover in a quick appearance with reporters. “And he feels good that justice will be served in this matter.”

Wint is a suspect in the murders of Savvas Savopoulos, 46, his wife, Amy Savopoulos, 47, son, Philip, 10 and housekeeper Veralicia “Vera” Figueroa, 57. All were found dead in the family’s multimillion-dollar mansion, where firefighters were called to put out a blaze at 3200 block of Woodland Drive NW. The area is an exclusive neighborhood near the National Cathedral that includes the home of Vice President Joe Biden.

The case was featured on ABC’s “20/20” on Friday.
