The police found a large stain of blood in his backyard, where the victims were reportedly shot to death.
An alleged well-known drug dealer in his area, he was involved in a similar murder case but managed to avoid court punishment.
Meanwhile, the other suspect who was nabbed and whose name was not revealed vigorously denied his involvement in the case.
