Overview
- The 911 call, logged at 6:29 p.m., had Jonathan Turk tell dispatchers he killed his parents with a hammer and a knife.
- Officers found Fraser S. Turk at the top of the stairs and Tina B. Turk in the master bathroom, with blood on the stairs and a hammer and knife in an upstairs trash can.
- Police arrested Turk at the home without incident, booked him into Maricopa County Jail, and say he refused to speak in an interview.
- He faces two counts each of first-degree and second-degree murder and is held on a $2 million cash-only bond that requires full cash payment for release, with a preliminary hearing set for early April.
- Court documents say the victims had filed multiple mental-health petitions for their son, including three in 2026, and a prosecutor told the court they are concerned about his stability.
