AUGUSTA, Maine - A New York man was arrested on Friday in a double homicide that occurred in Auburn last month.
David Barnett, 34, aka Slim, of Bristol, Conn., was arrested in Rockland, Md., on a warrant for murder for the alleged June 6 killing of Kelzie Caron and Pierre Langlois, both 21 and of Connecticut, at 49 Fourth St in Auburn, according to a press release from Maine Dept. of Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss.
