PALM BEACH, Fla. _ A grand jury has charged Austin Harrouff with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of John Stevens III and Michelle Mischcon, Martin County Assistant State Attorney Nita Denton said Tuesday.
Harrouff, 19, is also facing charges of attempted first-degree murder and burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery while armed.
On Aug. 15, investigators say Harrouff stabbed Stevens III, 59, and Michelle, 53, to death at the couple's home.
After deputies arrived, they saw Harrouff on top of Stevens, biting his face. It took authorities a Taser, several kicks to the head and a police dog to get the Florida State University student off Stevens and into handcuffs and took him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Harrouff spat out what appeared to be a piece of human flesh, according to court documents. Harrouff told deputies he ate something bad.
"What did you eat?" a sergeant asked.
"Humans," Harrouff replied.
