Suspected murder-suicide crime scene to be demolished

BRADENTON BEACH – The triplex at 2514 Ave. C where a suspected murder-suicide recently occurred is permitted for demolition.

According to a neighbor, a work crew was on the premises Monday morning and one of the crew members said they expected the demolition to begin in a week or so.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, Sabrina Dumdei, 37, and Zachary Winton, 34, were discovered dead in the upstairs unit. While on scene that day, lead investigator Det. Sgt. Lenard Diaz and Bradenton Beach Police Chief Sam Speciale both said they believed they were investigating a suspected murder-suicide.

Dumdei’s funeral was held in Bradenton on Monday, Nov. 2 and attended by many friends and former hair salon clients Dumdei had on and around Anna Maria Island.

When contacted last week, Diaz said he might possibly be able to release his final conclusions and findings at some point this week. Those determinations will depend in part on the receipt of the autopsy and toxicology reports.

When viewed from the street Thursday afternoon, it did not appear that any efforts had been made to clean up the suspected crime scene that includes a blood-stained and broken patio chair on the upstairs deck and a blood-splattered sliding glass door behind the chair.

According to the city permit issued Oct. 29, the property owners, AMI Partners II LCC, are permitted to demolish and remove the structure and cap and stub the sewer line. Bradenton-based Forristall Enterprises is also listed on the demolition permit.

According to the Manatee County Property Appraiser’s Office, the sale of the property occurred around Oct. 15. According to the warranty deed dated Oct. 15, AMI Partners II LCC purchased the property and the structure from Adil Can and Marianne Detullio-Can.

Official records posted at the Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court website, AMI Partners II LLC purchased the property and structure for $819,000.

The Florida Division of Corporations lists AMI Partners II LLC as being formed on Oct. 7, with Sarasota attorney John Moran listed as the new LLC’s registered agent.

According to a neighbor, Dumdei and Winton said they knew the triplex had been sold and also were aware the new owners planned to demolish it.
