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.
He was apprehended at around 11:10am Saturday by Selma police, US Marshals and agents from the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, acting on a tip from the public, according to the Times-Journal.
Lee did not resist arrest, Selma Chief of Police William T. Riley said. An unidentified woman was also in the apartment with him, and the Alabama Bureau of Investigation plans to interview her.
