PARKERSBURG MEN ACCUSED OF MURDER - Two men were arrested yesterday in connection to a double homicide in Parkersburg.

Jaymason Robinson has been charged with two counts of first degree murder.

According to the criminal complaint, Robinson and the two victims got into an argument at his last known address, a house on the 1100 block of Pike Street, last Friday.

Police are saying when the fighting escalated, Robinson allegedly shot and killed the two victims.

The bodies were taken from a residence and dumped in the woods.

James Walters Jr., the second suspect connected to the alleged crime, was also arraigned on two felony counts of concealing a dead body and is being held on a $400,000 bond.

Parkersburg police said the car that was used to take the bodies from a house to the woods was found on fire on the other side of the county early Saturday morning.

While the names of the victims are still being withheld pending an autopsy and positive identification, family members say two local men are missing over the weekend - Eric Sprouse and Lester Wratchford.
