Few details have been provided about the triple stabbing, aside aside that the three stabbed - a man and two women - were all pronounced dead at the scene, and that the man in custody turned himself to the 113th Precinct sometime this morning
'I stabbed my roommates,' sources familiar with the matter told amNewYork Metro of what the man said when he turned himself in, to a precinct set about a mile away from the murders.
Police said they initially responded to the scene around 7:16am, after receiving an unspecified report of an incident inside 122-39 Milburn St - the home where the victims were found.
It remains unclear if officers were tipped off by the unnamed and currently incarcerated person of interest, who showed up at the precinct roughly 15 minutes before.
Once inside the three-bed, two-bath house, they found the three victims, who were reportedly alive but succumbed to their wounds. Officers said all had sustained 'multiple' stab wounds, and died before being brought to an area hospital.
It is currently unclear whether they all lived at the residence, though insiders told the Daily News that they did. As of 9:45am, the person in custody had yet to be charged, and was still being questioned by law enforcement.
