Covington Police have made an arrest after the discovery of two bodies burned beyond recognition Monday morning.
Antonio Donde Tyson faces multiple charges including two counts of first degree murder and two counts of second degree kidnapping.
Officials say the bodies were discovered outside of a business on the 500 block of East Gibson Street by employees arriving to work. The victims have yet to be identified.
“This is a very sad day for the City of Covington," said Mayor Mark Johnson. "We lift up our prayers for the victims, their families, and our community. We like to think our city is immune from these tragedies, but we are not. I would like to commend Chief Michael Ferrell and the Covington PD for their swift and professional action.”
