Orlando Murder Victim’s Parents File New Lawsuit

New details were released in the case of a woman who was allegedly killed by an Orlando apartment building security guard.

The new information is outlined in a new lawsuit.

WESH 2’s Summer Knowles reports on who Sasha Samsudean’s parents are blaming for her death.

Multiple video surveillance camera angles, fingerprints left in the bathroom, shoe prints in the bedroom and pictures of what appear to be scratches on Stephen Duxbury were all collected as evidence.

The pieces of evidence ultimately led to Duxbury being charged with murdering Samsudean, 27, inside her Uptown Place condo in downtown Orlando, where Duxbury worked as a security guard.

Although Duxbury alone is accused of breaking into Samsudean’s apartment and strangling her, Samsudean’s parents have now filed a lawsuit claiming the Uptown Place Condominium Association and their management company, their security company that provides security guards, along with the building’s deadbolt lock manufacturer, are also to blame for their daughter’s death.

According to the lawsuit, the condo association and management group provided a “facade of safety” but failed to have sufficient security surveillance cameras in key areas, “creating the opportunity for Duxbury to break into Samsudean’s apartment without detection.”

Additionally, it accused them of not following up on residents’ complaints about Duxbury, describing him as “sketchy and harassing.”

The lawsuit says the building’s security company was negligent in hiring Duxbury and tasking him with patrolling Uptown Place hallways late at night without supervision, given a violent criminal history and mental health issues.

The lawsuit also claims that Duxbury was able to bypass the digital deadbolt on Samsudean’s front door by quickly running internet searches on his cellphone, something experts warned could happen.

Duxbury has another court hearing scheduled for next week.
