Police in Pennsylvania have accused a 55-year-old man of murdering his parents with a massive knife and then killing his sister soon after she found their bodies.
Kevin Castiglia is in police custody with no bail after being charged with numerous criminal counts, including criminal homicide, possession of an instrument of crime, terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, and abuse of a corpse. The murders happened in his parents’ home in Northampton Township, located in Bucks County.
Castiglia allegedly killed his 84-year-old mom, Judith Castiglia, and her 90-year-old husband, Fred, as they slept, he allegedly told officials after the killings, according to court documents shared with Us Weekly.
He also murdered Deborah Castiglia, his sister, who was 53.
Police started looking into the welfare of Castiglia’s parents and sister on Monday, January 26, after Deborah’s boyfriend called police to tell them he had been unable to reach her.
He told police he even stopped by her residence, where he was met by Kevin, who was donning a robe and wielding a “Psycho type” chef’s knife. Kevin allegedly told the boyfriend Deborah was “probably” on vacation before allegedly warning him, “Don’t ever come here again, or I will kill you.”

Police went to the Castiglia home on Monday, and were allegedly confronted by Kevin, who answered brandishing the large knife in one hand and another blade in the other. Police said he started speaking “incoherently” and despite their best efforts, were unable to talk Kevin out of the home.
What followed was an hours-long standoff and a barricade situation that ended when a SWAT team breached a window at the rear of the residence and located Kevin in a room on the second floor. Police tried tasing Kevin, who just pulled the probes from his body before slamming the door shut and locking it.
Once inside the home, police discovered the three dead bodies. Deborah was found dead in the kitchen, according to documents, while the two others were found in a nearby room.
Autopsies on the victims were performed Tuesday, January 27, but causes of death were still pending at press time.
Bucks County DA Joe Khan lauded the efforts of the Northampton Township Police and the South Central Emergency Response Team.
“Despite being confronted by an armed individual, under excruciatingly difficult circumstances for roughly five hours in the bitter cold, officers utilized every tactical resource available to take the suspect into custody alive, preventing further tragedy,” Khan said.
