MORRISVILLE, Pa. – Authorities have arrested a mother and her daughter after five members of their family were found dead in an apartment.
ABC News reports that 45-year-old Shana Decree and 19-year-old Dominique Decree murdered the victims in their two-bedroom apartment in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. Police found the scene during a wellness check around 4 p.m. Monday.
Two victims were identified as Shana’s children 25-year-old Naa’Irah Smith and 13-year-old Damon Decree Jr. The other victims were Shana’s sister 42-year-old Jamilla Campbell and her 9-year-old twin daughters, Imani and Erika Allen. Police didn’t release the cause of death.
