Florida man charged in cold case killing of store employee stabbed 73 times found guilty

A man from Florida, “Kenneth Stough” was arrested for the murder of a manager of a merchandise store called “Terrance Paquette”, who stabbed him almost 73 times, and a court decision was issued last night on his conviction and sentence to life imprisonment.

Details of the incident from the beginning:-

It started when “Terrance Paquette” was found dead on February 3, 1996, in the bathroom of the Night Champ store in the province of Navring Orange, where blood was everywhere on the ground and walls in photographs shown by the sheriff’s office after Stough arrest, who was then 54 years old in 2021.

Investigators said that the blood from “Kenneth Stough” was found throughout the store, including the freezer door, the freezer, the lottery machine, the key cylinder, and the drive-in-out bar. He stated that the killer had wounded himself during the attack and “moved around various parts”, of the store before fleeing the scene.

A beer of can caused his arrest:-

At the time of the murder, there was no way to make an arrest based on blood evidence without comparing it to another blood sample, as Mina said.

The situation became cold and remained so until 2021, when a drop of blood was discovered and extracted from the fridge handle of the warehouse.

Forensics tested her, and it was determined that the DNA sample presented was from Stu’s parents’ relatives.

He had worked at the store for some time before Beckett and lived in an apartment across the street from him in 1996.

The detectives were watching “Kenneth Stough” and collecting DNA from a bag of beer cans that were disposed of, which linked him to the murder, as the prosecutors said.
