Five people were found dead Saturday afternoon inside a Citronelle (AL) home, authorities say.
A 4-month-old baby was found alive inside the residence, authorities say. One of the victims was believed to be pregnant.
Mobile County Sheriff’s Capt. Paul Burch and District Attorney Ashley Rich described the crime scene as the worst they have seen in their careers due to number of bodies.
Burch said the scene is going to take a couple of days to process.
Multiple weapons were used in the attack, he said.
A suspect, identified as Derrick Dearman, is in police custody, Burch said.
Dearmon walked into the Greene County Sheriff’s Office Saturday afternoon and confessed to the crimes, he said.
The motive behind the slayings hasn’t been released.
