A California man is accused of brutally murdering his parents in their mobile home at the San Juan Mobile Estates community in San Juan Capistrano.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department dispatched officers to the home of Antoinette Gerdvil, 79, and her husband, Ronald Gerdvil, 77, on Tuesday (July 9) after receiving a 911 call about a domestic issue.
“Deputies arrived to the dispatched address and located a horrific scene which included the decapitated and mutilated bodies of Ronald and Antoinette Gerdvil,” the sheriff’s office said.
About five minutes after officers arrived, they learned that a man covered in blood was chasing a maintenance worker nearby. The man stole the worker’s golf cart and tried to flee that area. An officer caught up with the man, identified as the Gerdvils’ son, Joseph Gerdvil, 44.
The officer shot Joseph, who was transported to the hospital for treatment. Officials said that once he recovers, he will booked on two charges of homicide. He could face additional charges and enhancements as the investigation continues.
