A FLORIDA man has been arrested and accused of beating his wife and teenage stepson to death with a hammer before raping a witness.
Justin Jones, 41, is facing charges after allegedly killing two during a spree of wicked violence inside a Lake County trailer park Wednesday, court documents reveal.
Lake County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call at the Thousand Trails Resort and RV park around 2pm. A woman said she was brutally tied up and raped after she witnessed a horrifying murder.
When investigators arrived, they discovered two bodies inside a blood-spattered RV, a chilling affidavit states.
Officials believe that Jones beat his wife Sandra Gaudino, 38, with a hammer, wrapped her body in a trash bag, and put it under a mattress.
The next day, Jones' 17-year-old stepson came home to discover the mess, police said.

Jones then attacked the stepson, identified as Ty Finister, and killed him with the same hammer before wrapping his head in a bag, according to the affidavit obtained by WESH.
"In 25 years of doing this, this is probably one of the worst," said Lt Fred Jones with the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
CHILLING CONFESSION
The alleged victim claimed that she witnessed the killing, prompting Jones to tie her up and sexually assault her for hours, according to detectives.
The witness said she finally got away once she asked to use the bathroom. She sprinted to neighbors where she called for help.

It was then that the victims were discovered in the RV.
The affidavit states that Jones confessed to both the murders and the sexual assault when detectives captured him after a brief chase in the parking lot.
Thousand Trails Resort in Clermont, where Jones was captured, is near Disney World. The RV camping ground is a popular stop for tourists traveling to the park.
COURT DRAMA
Jones was set to appear in court for the first time Thursday morning but failed to do so, WESH reported.
According to a court official, the accused murderer "refused" to show.
Despite this, the judge ordered that he be held with no bond.
