WEST POINT — Deputies in Davis County searched for a 15-year-old boy for several hours Wednesday night after his two younger brothers were found dead in their home. The teen was located just before midnight.
A tweet from the Davis County Sheriff's Office stated Aza Vidinhar, 15, was located and taken to a local hospital to be evaluated for minor injuries he had sustained.
Police spent hours looking for the teen after his 4-year-old and 10-year-old brothers were found dead in their home, located at 120 South 1660 West, Wednesday afternoon. Sgt. Susan Poulsen wouldn't give any details about how the children died, but said their deaths were "suspicious."
The sheriff's office said they were found with traumatic injuries consistent with non-accidental deaths.
Pouslen said the boys had been left with Vidinhar while their mother took her other children to a dance recital. When the mother returned home, she found the 4-year-old boy dead. The body of his 10-year-old brother was found by police officers who responded to the home, Poulsen said.
Vidinhar was nowhere to be found, and police immediately began searching for him.
Poulsen said investigators are unsure what Vidinhar's involvement might be in the deaths, but they are calling him a "person of interest" because they want to talk to him about what happened to his brothers. Investigators said he has been cooperative.
The children's father has been out of town on active duty with the military. He has been notified of the incident, according to the Davis County Sheriff's Office.
Vidinhar was reported missing for several hours in 2011, but was found in a nearby restaurant. There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
