The man’s ex-girlfriend, 46, of Sultan, and her boyfriend, 30, of Gold Bar, have been booked into Snohomish County Jail. Each is being held on one count of suspicion of first-degree murder. The woman on June 26 called police to report finding her ex-boyfriend dead. Sultan police asked the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to investigate. Detectives learned the woman and the victim, whose identity has not been released, lived together in her house in the 12800 block of 311th Avenue SE as boyfriend and girlfriend for about three years before breaking up a few months ago, sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said in a press release. The victim refused to move out, even when the woman got a new boyfriend and he stayed over at the house, Hover said. The victim, whose official cause of death has not been released by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office, died of homicidal violence. He was found dead in his bed. The case remains under investigation.
