LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas police have charged a 28-year-old schoolteacher in the stabbing deaths of a married couple who were killed when they were hiking with two of their children at Devil’s Den State Park.

State Police arrested Andrew James McGann on Wednesday at a barbershop in Springdale not far from the park, according to Col. Stacie Rhoads, commander of the department's criminal investigation division. McGann was charged with two counts of capital murder and is being held without bond Thursday in the Washington County jail.
