Charges Filed in Oklahoma Triple Homicide
An Oklahoma City man has been charged in the deaths of a mother and her two young children. Shaun Michael Bosse, 27, is accused of killing Katrina Griffin, her 8-year-old son, and her 6-year-old daughter at their home in Dibble on July 23, then setting fire to their home to destroy evidence. The Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office reports that Katrina Griffin and her son Christian died of stab wounds, and that Griffin's daughter, Chasity Hammer, died of injuries sustained in the fire.
Because of these violent crimes in Oklahoma, Bosse has been charged in McClain County District Court with three counts of first degree murder and one count of first degree arson.
The night before the bodies were found, Griffin called police to her home; Bosse was present and told police that he had been dating the woman for about two weeks. While an affidavit from the incident does not list the reason for the call, an investigating officer who interviewed Bosse after the bodies were discovered the next day noticed injuries to the suspect's arm and fist that were consistent with a hole found punched in the wall of the victims' home. The woman's call to police, the physical damage to her home, and Bosse's injuries seem to suggest Oklahoma domestic violence.
Bosse is also accused of theft after police discovered that he sold the victim's televisions and entertainment items at Oklahoma City metro area pawn shops after the killings.
The defendant's next court date for the Oklahoma murder charges has not yet been scheduled.
