Authorities report that a man in St. Petersburg, Florida, is facing charges for allegedly killing his girlfriend and her mother, including dismembering one of the bodies.
Kirk Hysell Jr., aged 41, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder as confirmed by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
Approximately at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday, a distress call to 911 revealed that two women were found deceased in their residence.
When deputies arrived, they found 34-year-old Christina Donzero dead in a bedroom from multiple stab wounds, according to a news release.
One of the women was suffocated and stabbed to death, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital.
The other woman was stabbed to death and dismembered, according to the affidavit.

Hysell was found in the bathroom of the home with “multiple self-inflicted injuries,” and was taken to the hospital, according to authorities.
Detectives said Hysell allegedly told his daughter he had killed his girlfriend, which prompted her to call 911.
The affidavit notes Hysell “verbally directed family members to their corpses.”

Officials said Hysell admitted to the murders and said he initially planned to kill the whole family.
Hysell also allegedly said he planned to kill his other family members, and if he got out, he would “do it again,” according to the release.
When Hysell is released from the hospital, he will be taken to the Pinellas County Jail.
The sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital about which body was dismembered.
