SELMA, Ala. — An Alabama man was arrested Saturday on charges that he murdered two nine-year-old twins and their caretaker.

Deandra Marquis Lee, 22, was captured Saturday in a Selma apartment, the Selma Times-Journal reported.

The bodies of twins Jordan and Taylor Dejerinett and Jack Mac Girdner, 73, were found Tuesday on a dirt road near Hayneville, about 35 miles southeast of Selma.

They had been reported missing the previous day.

Lee was out on bond from a Dallas County jail for possession of a firearm with an altered serial number, obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, and violation of license to carry a pistol, WBRC-TV reported.
