Two people were arrested Tuesday after being accused of setting fire to a home on Cleveland Street on Monday night that killed two people inside.
Celisa Heard Hamilton, 46, of Newberry Street, and Theodore Fred Sharpe, 51, each are charged with first-degree arson and two counts of murder. Richmond County sheriff's Lt. Scott Peebles said Mr. Sharpe lived with the victims, who were found dead inside the house in the 1600 block of Cleveland Street shortly after 11 p.m. Monday. Investigators say they believe the suspects set fire to the front bedroom as the two victims slept inside.
"The suspicion is they were likely asleep and possibly intoxicated, or both," Lt. Peebles said.
He would not comment on the suspects' motives but said authorities "have an idea" because several people who witnessed the fire have been talking to police.
When asked about Ms. Hamilton's relationship to Mr. Sharpe, Lt. Peebles said she was a "regular" in the neighborhood who "frequented" the home.
An autopsy revealed the victims died of smoke inhalation. As of Tuesday afternoon, authorities had identified Herman M. Cadle, 51, as one of the victims but were still trying to notify the family of the other before releasing a name, according to Richmond County Coroner Grover Tuten.

Their is never anything funny about murder.
You're right. Murder is not funny. Strap them both down, and juice them up. Quickly !! I'm not smiling.
What a horrible world we live in surrounded by horrible people. The family of the victims and the murderers are in my prayers because yes they need prayer also.
Life is getting cheaper by the minute...No let me correct myself..Life is getting cheaper by the second...:-( Anyone ever figure out that these people who kill so easily are not afraid of prison..They probably figure it is a better and easier way of life than one on the outside that requires discipline, work, and responsibility...
i see that satan is out seeking whom he can, sifting a lot of people like wheat .i read some where in the bible satan the devil is going to land a lot of people in prison in these last and evil days the family and the muderers are in my prayers also have a nice day all u readers on line
It's called SIN. Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy, and he will do it however he can, to whomever he can. This is very sad, but it should remind us that we should ALL examine our lives and seek God, for we are truly living in the last days.
Their, there and they're
We are living in the last days..have been since Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day to ascend into heaven...Times are mean and extreme evil is in play. Many have seen such times as a sign to give up and do nothing but pray..We must continually pray without ceasing but we must continue on...working and raising our families all the while spreading the Good News where and when we are able....Help each other where you can, don't give up on each other and most of all keep the faith and hope alive for our future generations if the Lord allows...
