HOLCOMB, Miss. (AP) - An arrest has been made in a double homicide in Grenada County.

Sheriff Alton Strider tells the Greenwood Commonwealth that 22-year-old John Wayne McChriston has been charged with capital murder.

He's accused in the deaths of the Rev. Jimmy Stauddy and his caregiver, Martha Stoker, who were killed on Sunday. The victims suffered multiple stab wounds. Their bodies were discovered by the minister's wife, Scottie Stauddy, after she returned from a shopping trip to Jackson.

Strider says no bond has been set.
