Suspect Arraigned In Murder Of Grandmother, Boyfriend

(NEW ALBANY, Ind., October 11th, 2004, 3 p.m.) -- A 26-year-old New Albany man charged in the stabbing deaths of his grandmother and her boyfriend last week was in court Monday. Casey Brown pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder.

Police found the bodies of 64-year-old Nancy Young and 48-year-old Will Stone on Saturday after getting a call from a concerned relative.

Floyd County Coroner Greg Balmer said both died of multiple stab wounds and had been dead for several days. "We think it happened last Tuesday or early Wednesday."

James Young, Nancy Young's nephew and neighbor, said Brown had lived in Nancy Young's apartment for about two months.

He said he and Nancy Young's other relatives and friends had been worried about her because they had not seen her for several days.

Still no word on a possible motive for the murders.
