A prosecutor told jurors that Viktor Yuryevich Glukhovskiy killed his wife and teenage son in their Valley Glen apartment to cash in on insurance policies and begin a new life with his girlfriend.
Alex Glukhovskiy, 13, and his mother Natali Glukhovskiy, 39, were found dead Dec. 26, 2018, in their Valley Glen apartment. Viktor Glukhovskiy, 44, who is Alex’s father and Natali’s husband, was arrested Friday, Feb. 1, 2019, on suspcion of murder in their deaths. He is a civilian LAPD employee. He pleaded not guilty to murder charges on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2019.
In his opening statement, the prosecutor said Glukhovskiy had a “dark secret” that he was in love with another woman, was “willing to murder” to be with her, and had been plotting the killings for months. The prosecutor said the evidence would show that Glukhovskiy killed his two family members before driving to his job in downtown Los Angeles, where he showed up to work 15 minutes late and “acted like nothing happened.”
Glukhovskiy filed a claim for two insurance policies worth more than $400,000 involving his wife and son after their deaths, according to the prosecutor. He noted that there was “blood everywhere” at the crime scene, and said police criminalists took samples from Glukhovskiy’s vehicle.Crime and Public Safety |25 years after Matthew Shepard’s death, LGBTQ+ activists say equal-rights progress is at risk
