The Arkansas State Police is investigating the slayings of two Scott County residents whose bodies were discovered Monday inside a residence south of Waldron.
Special Agents of the state police criminal investigation division were requested by the Scott County Sheriff to conduct the investigation.
The sheriff’s department received a phone call about 1 a.m. from an individual stating he had cut his foot and needed assistance. A sheriff’s deputy dispatched to the home found the murder victims in a bedroom.
An investigation is continuing and more information is expected to be released as early as Tuesday. Meanwhile, authorities are attempting to notify next of kin related to the victims.
