Two men were arrested Tuesday morning in connection to a double homicide discovered inside the charred remains of a Shippensburg home last month, federal authorities announced.
The two still unidentified victims were found Feb. 23 in a home on the 100 block of Neil Road in Southampton Township, Pennsylvania State Police said. Authorities ruled their deaths homicides, but did not reveal their names or causes of death.
Emergency responders initially rushed to the scene around 6:02 a.m. after receiving reports of a house fire, state police said.
Cordaryl and Larry Burns have been charged with homicide and related offenses in the deaths of these two people, the U.S. Marshals said Tuesday afternoon.
Both men were arrested around 8 a.m. Tuesday. Authorities said Cordaryl was taken into custody in Detroit, Michigan; while Larry Burns was arrested in Lumberton, North Carolina. The men are awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania.
“It’s the Marshals Services’ duty to ensure that those charged with violent crimes have their day in court,” Marshal Martin J. Pane said in a news release. “It is my sincere hope that members of the affected communities will find some measure of comfort knowing this suspect will face justice.”
