A jury in western Iowa returned three guilty verdicts Wednesday in the case of a Denison man charged with a double homicide and arson. The Omaha World-Herald says 26-year old Michael David Schenk was found guilty of two counts of murder in the first degree and one count of arson in the second degree.

Schenk was charged in the March 10, 2014 deaths of 80-year old Marvin Huelsing, of Maple River, and 81-year old Alice Huisenga, of Arcadia. The bodies of the two victims were discovered after fire departments responded to a report of a trailer house and a pickup on fire on Huelsing’s property at 1872 Milford Road, between Deloit and Denison.
