Arrest in Double Murder

Sheriff's detectives arrested a man last night for the murder of two people found in a home outside of Kent. The suspect was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Homicide.

The victims, a man and a woman in their 60’s, were found by an adult son yesterday (February 4th) about 12:30 PM. He had become concerned after he was unable to reach his parents for several days. The house is in the 21200 block of 124th Ave SE.

A second son, 43 years old, sometimes lived in the house. Detectives wanted to talk to him about the slaying, and found him staying in a Tukwila motel about 8:00 PM last night. He was interviewed, and after additional investigation was arrested. He was booked at 3:45 AM.

The investigation is continuing.
