SANTA ANA (CNS) - A 43-year-old Anaheim man was charged today with killing his parents.
Carlos Manuel Robles-Lopez was charged with two counts of murder with sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a deadly weapon, according to court records.
The defendant is accused of killing 67-year-old Andres Alvaro-Robles and 65-year-old Teresa Lopez-Miguel, according to Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer.
Investigators were working to determine how the couple was killed, but their injuries were ``consistent with a violent assault,'' Carringer said.
Police were called about 7:50 p.m. Sunday to the victims' apartment in the 600 block of West Vermont Avenue, Carringer said. When police arrived they found the couple, and Andres Alvaro-Robles was pronounced dead at the scene, but Teresa Lopez-Miguel was taken to a hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, Carringer said.
The suspect also lived in the apartment off and on and was arrested there without incident, Carringer said.
