Police: Arrest in 6 Memphis Killings
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A suspect in the slayings of four adults and two children found dead at a Memphis residence was under arrest Saturday, police said.
The bodies were discovered Monday at a small rental house where three other children also were found critically wounded.
Police refused to identify the suspect but scheduled an afternoon news conference to discuss the arrest.
One of the dead, Cecil Dotson, 30, was the father of the dead and injured children.
Dotson's brother, Jessie Dotson, 33, was arrested Friday night and held in connection with a first-degree murder, court and jail records show. Police refused to say whether Jessie Dotson was a suspect in the attack that killed his brother.
The two men killed, Dotson and Hollis Seals, 33, had extensive police records on charges that include possession of illegal drugs and firearms. Cecil Dotson is identified in jail records as a known gang member.
Records also show that Jessie Dotson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 1994 and spent 14 years in prison. He was released from prison in January.
Police say the victims were killed between Saturday night and Monday evening at a home in a rough, low-income neighborhood called Binghampton.
The surviving children are under police custody at a children's hospital and authorities refuse to comment on the extent of their injuries. Children known to have been in the house were ages 9, 7, 5, 4 and 2 months. Police have not said which children died.
Also killed were Shindri Roberson, 25, and Marissa Rene Williams, 26, the mother of four of Cecil Dotson's children.
En el día de hoy, ha sido arrestado Jessie Dotson, como sospechoso del sextuple asesinato ocurrido en Memphis, Tennessee, hace pocos días.

La policía cree que los homicidos ocurrieron en la mañana del domingo; e identificó a las victimas adultas como Cecil Dewayne Dotson, de 30 años; Marissa Rene Williams, de 27 años; Hollis Seals, de 33 años; y Shindri Roberson, de 22 años. Asimismo los niños asesinados fueron identificados como Cemario Dotson, de 4 años, y Cecil Dotson, de 2 años, ambos hijos de Cecil Dotson.



Jessie Dotson fue identificado por uno de los menores sobrevivientes del hecho; minutos después confesó su autoria en el mismo. Jessie Dotson había sido hallado culpable de homicidio en segundo grado en 1994 y paso 14 años en prisión. Fue liberado en enero.

El motivo del crimen fue aparentemente, una larga discusión sostenida entre el asesino y su hermana Cecil Dotson, una de las victimas.
