LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Police in Little Rock say two suspects in the 2017
killings of a 24-year-old woman and her two young children now face murder
charges in a fourth slaying.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that police on Thursday announced
capital murder and aggravated robbery charges against 25-year-old Michael
Collins and his brother, 21-year-old William Alexander, in the death of
64-year-old Billie Thornton.
Thornton was found dead in his apartment in July of last year.
Collins and Alexander were already being held in the Pulaski County jail in
the killings of Mariah Cunningham, 5-year-old Alayah Fisher and 3-year-old
Elijah Fisher.
The three were found dead Dec. 5 in southwest Little Rock. Police have not
said how they were killed, but have said that Collins knew Cunningham.
