Shocking details of rape and brutality have emerged from a Las Vegas house of horrors where the bodies of a woman and her young daughter were found.Police are continuing to collect evidence from the home after a 9-year-old boy reportedly came to his school on Monday and told teachers that his mother and older sister had been killed by his dad.
At the boy's home less than a mile away, they found the blood-spattered bodies of 38-year-old Ignacia Martinez and his 10-year-old sister Karla Martinez.
However, police have now rejected the boy's claim that his father was behind the killings.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief Jim Owens labelled original reports of the father's involvement as inaccurate, telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal: 'I wouldn't print that'.
Police said during a press conference yesterday that young Karla was raped before she and her mother were savagely beaten to death.
Ignacia Martinez's 4-year-old son was also found in the home, but was not harmed.
The father, Arturo Martinez, who works as an electrician and boxing trainer in the area, was also found severely beaten - but alive.
He is currently fighting for his life at a nearby hospital.
Authorities believe the boy was in a state of shock when he arrived at Mabel Hoggard Elementary School near Washington Avenue in Las Vegas shortly before 9am. Read More
