KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for a man indicted on four counts of first-degree murder in thekillings of his wife and three children at their Florida home near Walt Disney World.
State Attorney Aramis Ayala announced during a news conference Tuesday that an Osceola County grand jury had formally charged Anthony Todt.
Florida law requires a grand jury indictment for capital crimes. Todt was arrested earlier this month after his wife, Megan, and their children, Alek, Tyler and Zoe, were found dead at the Celebration home.
The family's dog was also killed. Officials believe they had been dead since late December.
