     (AP) – Authorities have captured a man charged with killing

two people in Jefferson City.

     Police said in a news release that 27-year-old Brandon Rapier was arrested

Thursday after he was spotted coming out of a wooded area at a park. The release

said he was hurt and was taken to a hospital for treatment, where he is listed

in fair condition.

     Rapier is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of

27-year-old Ciera Kolb and 27-year-old Micah Hall. They were attacked Wednesday

night outside a residence and later died.

     The release says that it appears a “sharp object” was used in the attack. The

object hasn’t yet been located.

     Rapier was recently released from prison after being convicted of stabbing a

person in 2014.
