Witnesses said Sepulveda had stumpled out of the burning house with blood gushing from his throat and his hair and clothing ablaze. He died a short while later. pp i JJn J.sJ.J 11 a-T XTTLdictrLCL I 1 Cilv Youll Waterbury, Conn. (UPI) The slaughter of four little girls might have been prevented if the crazed father who killed them and himself had been held in jail "under the old system" on an earlier charge, Chief Inspector Henry Burns said yesterday. Burns said the killer, Samuel Sepulveda, 29 years old, was arrested earlier last week for kicking his pregnant wife in the stomach.

"SEPULVEDA would have spent the weekend in jail under the old system," said Burns. "If we had our way, we would have arrested Sepulveda and held him for observation by a doctor. At least a doctor would have seen him if a warrant had been issued," he said. Burns said police actually applied for a warrant, but the request was turned down by a circuit court prosecutor. Because two recent actions brought against the city and detectives involved arrests without warrants, detectives did not hold Sepulveda.

If the two detectives involved in other cases were not being sued, they probably would have arrested Sepulveda without a warrant, Burns said. ONE OF the detectives involved in those cases was sent to get a warrant for Sepulveda, but the request was refused, Burns said. Instead of issuing a warrant, the 'prosecutor issued an order forbidding Sepulveda to enter his own home. Sepulveda defied that order Sunday and hacked his children, his wife and himself with a razor, before setting the home ablaze. Sepulveda's wife, Iris, 22, managed to flee despite her wounds.
