Virginia police are searching for a man who is suspected of killing his 3-year-old daughter and the girl's mother, MyFoxDC.com reports.
Alexandria police found the bodies of 27-year-old Sebel Tessema and her unidentified daughter after neighbors called 911.
"A neighbor called in. They heard noises in the hallway of the apartment complex and called police. That's how we got the call initially as a domestic dispute, " police spokesperson Jody Donaldson told MyFoxDC.com.
Sources say the suspect, 34-year-old Simon Bahta Asfeha, slashed the victims' throats and tossed the knife in the bushes outside.
"It's a very traumatic scene for the officers to be the first ones arriving to the scene and walk in and find that. These are things they don't want to see on their day to day job," Donaldson told MyFoxDC.com.
Neighbors say there was an ongoing custody issue involving the little girl between the two.
Asfeha was last seen driving a 1999 silver Acura with Virginia plates XKS-1522.
