Roseville Couple Accused of Murder, Torture in 7-Year-Old's Death

An official complaint was filed ahead of a Wednesday court appearance.

Overview

  • Placer County prosecutors filed a complaint alleging one count of murder and two counts of torture against Retuquel Dupree, 27, and Jessica Leann Savangsy, 26.
  • The pair are scheduled to appear in court at 1 p.m. Wednesday after being booked into the South Placer County Jail.
  • Police say they found an unresponsive 7-year-old and an injured 5-year-old at the Oahu Court residence on Monday, and the older child later died at a hospital.
  • The 5-year-old’s condition appears to have improved, and two other children from the home were uninjured and are now in Child Protective Services care.
  • Records show the couple were previously booked in October on conspiracy and grand theft, and officials confirm Dupree formerly worked for the Citrus Heights Police Department.
