2 Men Found Fatally Stabbed at Zuma Beach
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detectives are investigating the stabbing deaths of two unidentified young men found early Tuesday morning near the entrance to a Zuma Beach parking lot, a department spokesman said.
Coroner’s investigators were running fingerprint checks trying to determine the identity of the victims.
Both were described as Latino males. One was 5 feet, 4 inches tall and about 25 to 30 years old. The other was 5 feet tall and about 20 to 25 years old, a coroner’s spokeswoman said.
Deputies patrolling the Malibu area found the bodies shortly after 3 a.m. after stopping to investigate a parked car, said Deputy Hal Grant, a department spokesman. The bodies were discovered sprawled outside a public restroom, he said.
Grant said detectives say there is no apparent connection between these slayings and the daytime stabbing death of a 43-year-old Northridge woman, Jacqueline Kirkham, on May 28, 1991. Kirkham was found in a restroom several hundred yards from where the two men were found Tuesday.
Two teen-age suspects believed responsible for the Kirkham killing were arrested and are in custody.
