The family of an Army reservist, serving in Iraq, has been murdered in Kirkland, Washington, and their home was set ablaze to conceal the murders. He is on his way home, and a fund has been set up for him at The Sgt. Milkin Fire Fund, American Lake Credit Union, Camp Murray, Wa. The account number is 13743. Donations may be made by phone at 800-228-2377 or 800-244-0874. Electronic Funds Transfer inquiries should be sent to Cheryl Arnold at cheryl@americanlake.org. I intend to send $100, and challenge every active FReeper to do the same.

Is this the second one? Another military person's home burned and the family killed?

Prayers for the Sgt.

Same one mentioned in a post that was pulled, yesterday. That was before the arrest of the neighbor.

"Kirkland Police Capt. Eric Olsen opened a news conference with the stunning news that the four family members were stabbed multiple times in the neck before the fire was set.

Olsen said the King County Medical Examiner's Office also confirmed the identities of the victims as: Olga Milkin, 28; her sister, Lyubov Botvina, 24; and Justin Milkin, 5, and Andrew Milkin, 3, sons of Olga Milkin. Her husband, Sgt. Leonid Milkin, has been serving in the Army National Guard in Iraq and is expected to return to the United States today or Friday."
