Two men found stabbed to death in a Scandia neighborhood home on Wednesday were apparently killed by their half-brother, who was arrested in Bonney Lake later that night.
Seth Richard South, 23, of Poulsbo, was charged in Kitsap County Superior Court on Thursday. He faces two counts of second-degree murder, with potential additional penalties due to the crimes being considered domestic violence, as well as an assault charge for hitting a Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office detective after he was in custody.
South initially called 911 at 3 p.m. Wednesday, according to charging documents filed in court Thursday, and told a dispatcher that his half-brother had slit his own throat. A 911 dispatcher later told Kistap County Sheriff’s detectives that the phone then went silent, and moments later fighting could be heard, and then silence again.

When KCSO deputies arrived at the home on Scandia Road NW, just north of the intersection of Central Valley Road and Highway 308, one man could be seen laying on the floor inside the home, a deputy wrote in an incident report. Deputies entered the home, and one man was found on a kitchen floor, surrounded by blood, with a knife laying next to him.
