<p class="mol-para-with-font">A man charged with the brutal murder of a wealthy Washington DC family and their housekeeper claims it was his brother who killed them, and the prosecution has also raised the possibility that he may not have acted alone.<br />
Daron Wint, 37, to date, has been considered the only suspect in the quadruple slaying. He is the only charged with <a href="https://konniemoments.com/2016/10/28/dc-mansion-murders-additional-dna-evidence-links-35-year-old-darron-wint-to-d-c-quadruple-slaying-prosecutors/" rel="bookmark">the slaying of the Savopoulos family </a>at their home in a wealthy Washington DC neighborhood in what became known as the &#8216;Mansion Murders.&#8217;<br />

They had been tied up, beaten and stabbed before being doused with gasoline and the house was set on fire.<br />
Wint, who was born in Guyana, has pled not guilty to multiple counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping and arson.<br />
Prosecutors argued that Wint acted alone in order to claim a $40,000 ransom, the <a class="class" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/daron-wint-suspect-in-savopoulos-family-killings-takes-the-witness-stand/2018/10/10/c066880e-cca4-11e8-920f-dd52e1ae4570_story.html?noredirect=on&;amp;utm_term=.534387912a4b&;amp;wpisrc=nl_buzz&;amp;wpmm=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Washington Post</a> reports.</p>

Now, prosecutors have raised the possibility that Wint had help because four people had been taken hostage for 36 hours before they were killed, ABC 7 reports.<br />
Wint&#8217;s brother Darrell – who the defense say is the actual killer, is scheduled to testify, according to the station.<br />

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Last week, Wint took the stand, telling the jury that he was lured to the Savopoulos home in Upper Northwest Washington by Darrell.<br />
He gave a detailed account explaining how he ended up leaving his DNA on a pizza crust at the house, which led to his arrest.<br />
He testified that he only went because Darrell had asked him to come for a paint and drywall job, and later asked for his help in &#8216;unloading the house&#8217; of valuables.<br />
Wint told jurors he refused to help steal from the house after Darrell told him to put on a construction hat and green reflective vest to be less conspicuous.</p>

</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Wint insisted that he had stayed in a room on the main floor of the house and wasn&#8217;t aware that anyone else was in the house or being hurt.<br />
According to the defendant&#8217;s testimony, he met his brother Darrell at a construction company on May 13, the same day, a killer broke into the Savopoulos family home nestled in a posh DC neighborhood.<br />
Wint claims that during that meeting, Darrell asked to use his minivan, which he would pay him at least $300, for that night, while he spent the night at a friend&#8217;s house.<br />
He claims he didn&#8217;t hear from his brother again until the morning of May 14 when Darrell turned up at the friend&#8217;s house driving a Porsche.<br />
Wint says they drove to the Savopoulos home and Darrell let them inside with a key.<br />
He says his brother was wearing construction gloves when he brought him a pizza box after he mentioned that he was hungry, which he had thought was odd, he claimed.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Wint said he put an uneaten slice of pepperoni pizza back into the box because it was &#8216;cold and hard.&#8217;<br />
He claimed that he and his brother argued after his brother asked for help stealing from the house and he left the hard hat and vest there.<br />
Authorities found Wint&#8217;s DNA on the pizza as well as on the hard hat and vest.<br />
But Wint couldn&#8217;t explain how his DNA ended up on a knife in the basement.<br />
He said his brother told him to get in the Porsche and he would be driven back to his minivan, but says, his brother took him to a parking lot in Lanham, Maryland.<br />
Wint claims his brother spoke about getting &#8216;rid&#8217; of the minivan and some time after the incident, Wint claimed Darrell gave him $6,000 to &#8216;buy a new car.&#8217;<br />
He also says he was given two white iPhones which Darrell told him were found in a park, but which authorities say were stolen from the Savopoulos home.<br />
Wint also claimed that he only made Google searches after the incident, including &#8216;how to beat a lie detector test&#8217;, because &#8216;I didn&#8217;t want to go to jail for a crime I didn&#8217;t commit.&#8217;<br />
He said he began doing searches online after seeing a story about the fire on the news and was worried that his minivan would be linked to the case.</p>
