They were found with their throats slashed next to their bikes.
Daytona Beach Police Department Chief Jakari Young said their deaths were “probably one of the most vicious and gruesome incidents" he had seen in 20 years working for the police.
Locals called the double killing "very disturbing" and told Fox 35 they were "in fear of being attacked."
