Man Charged in Triple Murder | Durham News

A North Carolina man, Demetrius Aggelis, 40, faces three first-degree murder and one burglary charge after authorities found his mother, niece, and stepfather dead at their Pinebluff home. The victims were stabbed and shot; Aggelis called 911 claiming he found no one responsive but gave inconsistent accounts of his whereabouts. Surveillance footage shows an armed person entering the house early Wednesday, and a Flock Safety camera captured his vehicle nearby. Weapons and other evidence have been recovered. At his first court appearance, Aggelis was denied bail and assigned a court-appointed attorney, possibly a capital defense lawyer if the case escalates. With a prior criminal record and registered sex offender status, he now faces life without parole or death penalty for each murder. The investigation continues.
