Grand Jury Indicts Peter Avsenew over double homicide in Wilton Manors

On Wednesday night, a Broward County grand jury indicted Peter Serge Avsenew on two counts of first-degree murder and numerous other charges in the killings of two Wilton Manors men, a police spokeswoman said on Thursday.

Avsenew, 26, was arrested on December 28 2010.

Kevin Mark Powell, 47, and Stephen Duane Adams, 52 were partners for 29 years. They were shot multiple times, and their bodies were found inside their home on Dec. 26, police said.

Peter Serge Avsenew, was arrested in Polk County after being found driving one of the victims’ vehicles. Yesterday, grand jurors indicted the Hollywood man on two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, unlawful use of a credit card, and grand theft auto, according to Alesia Furdon, spokeswoman for Wilton Manors police.

Avsenew, a convicted felon, was moved about a week ago from a Polk County jail to a Miami-Dade facility, where he was being held on an unrelated violation of probation charge from Monroe County. On Wednesday morning, he was relocated to a Monroe County jail, officials said.

Additional details regarding the events that led to the couple’s murder haven’t been released.
