Three women found dead in home in grisly Ohio mystery

Three women were found dead in an Ohio home over the weekend, and cops have opened a homicide probe into the grisly discovery, authorities say.

Officers reponding to a 911 call made the gruesome find in the Columbus residence Saturday afternoon.

Columbus Police Sgt. James Fuqua said the 911 caller reported their friends had been experiencing some sort of medical distress.

Upon making the grim discovery, cops established a crime scene for further investigation, and medics pronounced the three women dead at 4 p.m., according to 10TV.

A Columbus public-safety dispatcher initially told the outlet that the emergency call came in as a shooting report, but officers later said they were still investigating other causes of death for the victims.

“This time of year — anytime of the year — it’s unfortunate when someone loses their life, but particularly this time of the yea. Fuqua told the outlet. “During the holidays, it’s going to be very difficult for these victim’s families to come to the grips that these family members will no longer be in their lives.”

Cops are requesting anyone who might have information about the case to call the Columbus Police Homicide Unit at 614-645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477). 

Fuqua could not be immediately reached by The Post on Sunday.

The apparent slayings occurred less than a week after a shooting Tuesday in the state’s capital, when a 45-year-old man was found in the yard of a local home suffering from a gunshot wound.

He was treated at a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries a day later.
