Alexandria, VIRGINIA (NBC News) — Alexandria Police are searching for a man they believe murdered his own 3-year-old daughter and the child’s mother.

34-year-old Simon Bahta Asfeha is now wanted for first-degree murder in the deaths of 27-year old Seble Tessema and their child, according to police. Tessema and Asfeha reportedly had a prior relationship, but don’t appear to have been married.

Police were called out to the Brent Place apartments off of 375 S. Reynolds Street around 10:30 a.m. for reports of a domestic disturbance. Instead, they found the bodies of the mother and child. “They found two victims deceased on an apartment on the 14th floor. We’re investigating the case as a suspicious death right now,” said Deputy Chief of Alexandria Police Blaine Corle.

Asfeha is reportedly driving a 1999 silver Acura with Virginia tags XKS-1522. Anyone with information is asked to call the Criminal Investigations Section of the Alexandria Police Department at 703.838.4444 or the Crime Solvers tip line at (703) 838-4858. Detectives would like to remind witnesses that they remain anonymous.

  1. I am so sorry to hear this…
    How could HE do such thing. People please watch out for your surrounding people nowadays are so crazy and do anything… he deserves what ever is comming to him. please think before you do things while you are doing it u dont realize what you’ve done once u see what you did and it will be too late to take it back!

  2. I think we’re in the finals of the centuries. Never before has seen so many horrible things that cause insomnia. In all countries of the world shows that some mothers kill their daughters in cold blood. Here in Mexico there are very sad cases. But we are not just mexicans who suffer the depravity of the girls who come to such a degree of evil. For example, I read on the internet than in the U.S. is terrible crimes like Elvira Marion Walton was killed by her daughter ¡¡12 years!! and Peru have also been committed shocking cases, such as Elizabeth Espino Vásquez, Giuliana Llamoja Hilares, y Eva Bracamonte Fefer sentenced for giving terrible death of their mother. And lastly, the case of a woman accused of murdering his own mother as Maria Teresa Cruzado Vera, it has acted in complicity with their brothers murderers Leticia Cruzado Carpio, Monica Cruzado Carpio and Alejandro Cruzado Carpio, who claim that the author is epileptic and drug addict.
    The wife Maria Teresa Cruzado Vera is not operated even though the crime has happened several years ago. Apparently has not done anything to investigate the crime, despite a 7 years has been the victim of these criminals.
    Respect for parents is gone, bad friends, drugs and alcohol conducive to mental disorders, we can not otherwise explain how it is that you can reach the point of eliminating the being who gave us life.
    If we suffer evil mothers of daughters, what awaits the other citizens? Ponder this terrible reality and ask God to free us from the unworthy sons who are already condemned in advance by the divine and human law. May our Lord preserve us from the worst betrayal that fills the soul with horror.
