When police got on the scene they said the man, identified as Cortney Lowe, told them he was okay and the blood belonged to Cathy Bell, 64, according to an affidavit and statement of facts.
Police went to an address listed for Bell and found her and Danny Thomas Bell, 66, dead.
As reported on News Center 7 at 5, a bloody sledgehammer was found in the house.
Once at jail, Lowe told police “he heard voices telling him to do what he did,” according to court documents.
Dana Bishop was shocked to learn two people were killed in their home just blocks from her.
“That’s savage. Yeah that’s absolutely savage to do that to people,” she said.
A municipal court judge lowered Lowe’s bond to $1 million, but he interrupted her with a strange off-camera comment.
“This right now was a game they set up,” Lowe said.
His lawyer cut him off at that point.
News Center 7 is working to learn Lowe’s relationship to the Bells.
He had been previously trespassed from their home.
Lowe plead not guilty to charges of murder and felonious assault.
We will continue to follow this story.
