MORGANTOWN, Ky. (AP) – A Morgantown man has been indicted in the deaths of a retired pastor and his wife last month in southcentral Kentucky.

Kentucky State Police Trooper B.J. Eaton said in a news release that 34-year-old Kevin Dye was charged with two counts of murder and one count each of handgun possession by a felon, receiving stolen property and being a persistent felony offender in the second degree.

A Butler County grand jury indicted Dye on Wednesday. Dye was served at the Butler County jail, where he was held Wednesday.

Police said previously that a family member found 71-year-old Kenneth Neafus and 70-year-old Dorothy Neafus dead inside their home on Aug. 9.
