Daytona Beach police say the man responsible for the “gruesome” murder of a husband and wife, who were found with their throats slashed on the side of the road, has been arrested.
“I’m pleased to announce that we have arrested the man responsible for the murders of Brenda Aultman and Terry Aultman,” Chief Jakari Young tweeted.

“This is just a reminder of just the evil that exists in our society today,” Young added.
Police began investigating the Aultman’s murder around 2 a.m. on Sunday after responding to a call for a possible hit-and-run when someone reported seeing two people lying in the grass.
But when they arrived, police noticed the couple had multiple stab wounds and that their throats had been slashed {snip}
Investigators say they believe the couple was riding their bicycles home from Main Street, where the Daytona Bike Week motorcycle event is being held, when the attack happened.

At this time, police say they still don’t have a motive for the “random, senseless act of violence that should have never occurred.” Macean’s criminal history includes one felony and two misdemeanor drug-related charges, according to the police department.
