SCIOTO COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- UPDATE 10/4/19 @ 10 p.m.
A man from Lucasville faces two aggravated murder charges in connection with the deaths of a mother and daughter who were gunned down nearly four years ago at a home along Blue Run Road in Lucasville.
Kristian R. Davis was indicted on two aggravated murder charges in the deaths of Candy Newsome, 48, and her daughter, Kristina "Mykal" Newsome, who was 16.
Kristian R. Davis, 22, was indicted by a grand jury, according to a news release Friday from the Scioto County Sheriff's Office. Investigators say Davis has been in custody in the Scioto County Jail since Nov. 29, 2018, on unrelated charges.
On Jan. 4, 2016, Candy Newsome, 48, and her 16-year-old-daughter, Kristina "Mykal" Newsome, were found dead of apparent gunshot wounds at a home. The mother and daughter were killed execution style, investigators say.
It was news family members had been anxiously hoping to hear for more than three years.
"Every time someone would mention their names, I would just go all to pieces," Candy's mother Elsie Johnson said.
On Friday, Elsie got a phone call from the prosecutor sharing an update she'd worried might never come.
"I'm just glad it's going to be over," she said. "They can rest in peace."
