Investigators probe two deaths in Norristown

Posted: June 19, 2012

Investigators in Montgomery County are looking into the deaths of two people found on Sunday afternoon in Norristown.

A man and woman were found laying on their backs in a rented bedroom on the second floor of a home in the 1200 block of Arch Street, said District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman. She described the couple as "a tenant and his girlfriend."

The call came into authorities about 4:22 p.m.; the victims were found by another resident in the house. The two had multiple wounds to their head and torso area. An autopsy was not yet completed and no identifications had been made, Ferman said.

The deaths may be the first murders in the city since August 2011, said Ferman.
