Arrest in fatal fire, homicide

CORINTH, Miss. (AP) - Corinth police have made an arrest in the deaths of two brothers whose bodies were found after a house fire.

Police Capt. Ralph Dance says 28-year-old Sirdon Capanion Greer was arrested in Tupelo on Saturday.

Dance tells The Daily Corinthian (https://bit.ly/1g7Mtg7 ) that Greer will be charged for the shooting deaths of two brothers and then setting their home on fire Thursday. Greer will be in court Tuesday.

Dance says an autopsy shows 67-year-old James Copeland and 64-year-old Jerry Copeland were each shot in the head before the house was set on fire.

Dance says both men were found in the back of the home after firefighters extinguished the blaze. He says most of the visible damage was done to the left rear of the home.
