BRADENTON BEACH – As of today, no additional details have been provided on the possible murder-suicide discovered at 2514 Ave. C in Bradenton Beach on Saturday, Oct. 17.
When contacted Monday, lead investigating officer Det. Sgt. Lenard Diaz from the Bradenton Beach Police Department said he was still unable to provide any additional details on the incident that resulted in the violent deaths of Sabrina Dumdei, 37, and Zachary Winton, 34.
Diaz attended the autopsies conducted Monday, Oct. 19 and a week later was still awaiting the autopsy results. Police Chief Sam Speciale said the department is also awaiting toxicology report results.
The morning after the deaths were first discovered, Diaz said, “A possible murder-suicide is what it appears to be at this time, but the investigation will be going on for quite a while. Going through the crime scene and photos, I’ll try to put something together, but it’s going to be speculation because there’s no witnesses and nobody saw anything.”
In the wake of her sister’s tragic death, Crystal Dumdei helped create a Sabrina Dumdei GoFundMe online fundraising page that as of early Monday afternoon had raised $12,205 from 109 donors.
“We are starting this GoFundMe to help her family in this time of need with funeral costs and all other expenses. Sabrina was a kind, beautiful, funny, loving, caring, smart woman with a heart of gold. This is an extremely difficult time for her loved ones, and every little thing helps. Thank you for all of your support and love, God bless,” the GoFundMe page says.
Sabrina Dumdei was a well-known hairdresser who had many clients and friends on and around Anna Maria Island.
Prior to their deaths, Dumdei and Winton were involved in three recently documented domestic incidents dating back to July that resulted in responses from the Bradenton Police Department or the Bradenton Beach Police Department.
