A 30-year-old man was arrested and charged with double homicide on Monday after allegedly stabbing his father and his father's girlfriend to death at their family home in Rome, NY. 

The man, identified as Kyle J. Kirk by New York State police, was discovered on the driveway outside the family's mobile home at 5959 Old Oneida Road in Oneida County on Monday morning after a neighbor called 911.

When state troopers arrived at the scene, they found Kyle outside the mobile home wearing blood-soaked clothing and instructed EMS to check on him.

But as he was being interviewed by emergency services, the troopers discovered Kyle's father, 60-year-old Howard J. Kirk III, lying motionless on the ground with multiple stab wounds several yards away. 

Upon entering the family's mobile home, the troopers went on to find Howard's girlfriend, 53-year-old Amanda L. Osborne, on the floor of the family trailer, having also sustained several stab wounds.

According to spokesperson Trooper Jack Keller, Kirk lived at the mobile home residence at 5959 Old Oneida Road with his father Howard and Howard's girlfriend, Amanda. 

Keller said that state police believe Kirk launched an attack on both Howard and Amanda, stabbing them multiple times and leaving them for dead at the residence some time on Monday morning. 

Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene by emergency services.

Meanwhile, Kyle Kirk was taken into custody by state troopers and is being held on two counts of first-degree murder at the Oneida County jail.

He is also being charged with one count of third-degree possession of a weapon, and is scheduled to appear in court in the coming weeks. 

State Police were assisted at the scene by the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office, Rome Fire Department, NYS Park Police, Oneida County District Attorney’s Office and AMCARE ambulance.
