And 7news has confirmed that police have also gotten a confession from the alleged killer of Richard and Maria Stuart.

The case started to come together yesterday afternoon at 2:00 when police intercepted a Toyota Scion in front of a bar named El Pedrigal off mile 38 on the western Highway.

The man driving the car was a former employee of the Stuarts and police also found a knife under the seat. Turns out that this man had also been accused a month earlier of stealing a blue Toyota highlander from he Stuart's for whom he was formerly employed.

Well now he has given police caution statement. Unconfirmed reports to us say that he told them he entered the house from a window on the third story. He also reportedly gave police the name of his associate who was his accomplice. Police are looking for that person at this time.

A post mortem shows that both Richard and Maria Stuart were stabbed 25 times. As we reported, the murder occurred as they returned to their home from a social event. The Stuarts were viciously assaulted on the second floor of their three story mansion.

The babysitter told us that she and their eldest, an 8 year old boy listened helplessly as the bloody mayhem unfolded. She said she called 911 and was with them on the phone the entire time. A neighbor's security camera picked up two men leaving the home. They are believed to have stolen Stuart's Toyota Scion at the same time.
