American Idol boss, husband executed in their $6.9 million home in gory double murder

An American Idol boss and her husband were found dead inside their mansion in California in a suspected double murder.

A boss on American Idol and her husband were executed in a suspected double murder inside their $US4.5 million ($6.9 million) Los Angeles home, cops said.

Robin Kaye, an award-winning music supervisor for the hit competition show, was found slaughtered along with her husband, Thomas Deluca, after an apparent break-in at their house in the upscale Encino neighbourhood, a Los Angeles Police Department source told TMZ.

LAPD officers found the couple’s bodies during a welfare check after they had not been heard from in four days.

Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca were victims of a suspected double murder.

Both victims had what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the head.

Officers also found blood in the entryway and a broken window, which the killer possibly used to get inside.

Aerial footage of the house from ABC 7 showed what looked like a smashed sliding glass door.

The cops had already been called to the house last Thursday after neighbours spotted a suspicious person hopping the fence, but officers found no evidence of foul play.

“We didn’t see or hear anything. My renter called 911 on Thursday because she saw somebody hopping the fence,” neighbour Amee Faggen told ABC 7.

She worked as the music supervisor on Idol for at least 15 seasons, and she won multiple Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for her work on the show.

The couple’s house last sold for around $US4.5 million in 2023, according to Zillow.
