Authorities have made an arrest in the case of two men whose bodies were found in a charred Brooklyn home once a fire was put out last week, officials said Monday. Police sources say both had been killed before the fire started.
Alex Alive, 33, of Brooklyn, was charged with two counts of murder. Information on a possible attorney for him wasn't immediately available, nor was his connection to the dead men clear.
Firefighters were called to the scene on Bay 29th Street, between Bath and Benson avenues in Bath Beach shortly before 7 p.m. March 17. Cellphone video captured screaming as flames whipped between the windows.
One of the men had a stab wound to his neck, while the other had suffered some sort of head injury.
