An Englewood man, 81, accused of killing his wife and daughter allegedly told police he planned to kill them so the family could avoid becoming homeless, according to an arrest affidavit.
Reginald L. MacLaren, 81, was arrested on Saturday around 9:30 p.m. on a charge of first-degree murder.
When the officers began to walk around the apartment, they saw suspected blood dripping from the top of a kitchen trash can and what appeared to be human hair coming out of the top. The officers also saw two large rollaway black trash cans on their sides in the living room. The detectives also saw the two bodies in the trash cans. They found a large axe in a closet and a handsaw near the trash cans. They noted the large amount of blood in the apartment.
About 10 days prior, he began a plan to kill his family"so they would not be homeless," he told police. He purchased an axe, the two trash cans and a hand saw and stored the items in his apartment. He said their bodies wouldn't fit in the trash cans, so he used a saw to remove their arms and legs. The cans were too heavy and he could not move them, he said, according to the affidavit.
