Schaumburg man charged in double homicide

Berwyn police said Friday that a Schaumburg man has confessed to killing a Berwyn couple.

Cook County prosecutors have charged Roger Scoby, 40, with the murder of Ira Moore, 67, and his wife, Tommie Moore, 70.

Berwyn patrol units responded to a home on the 3000 block of South Oak Park Avenue about 5:30 a.m. March 31 and found the two victims dead on the kitchen floor, according to a statement from acting Berwyn Police Chief Michael D. Cimaglia,

Autopsies revealed that both victims had been shot in the head. Tommie Moore also was stabbed numerous times in her upper torso.

Police said the couple had used Scoby's services as a transport driver for an area hospital, according to an ABC 7 report. Scoby had come to the house to drop something off for the couple and told police he simply lost control, authorities said in the ABC 7 report.

Scoby was taken into custody with the assistance of the United States Marshal's Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force. He is scheduled to appear at a bond hearing Saturday.
