On September 3, 2023, Mohamed Alusine Kandeh, 61, and his wife, Bintu Kandeh, 60, were found dead on the kitchen floor of their home in Delaware, Ohio. Their daughter discovered the couple after they failed to meet her for lunch and immediately called police. Both victims had suffered fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigation quickly focused on the couple’s 25-year-old son, Mohamed Lamin Kandeh, identified as the primary suspect. Surveillance footage showed him leaving the family home shortly before police were called. A warrant was issued and he was arrested the following day without incident when officers stopped his vehicle. He had prior legal troubles, including 2022 charges of aggravated menacing and domestic violence after an incident involving a firearm against his father and earlier time served after a 2020 violent altercation with his ex-girlfriend’s father.

He has been charged with multiple counts of murder and tampering with evidence and is being held without bond as proceedings continue. If anyone knew the Kandeh family or has information about that day, please come forward.
