Quadruple Homicide Suspected in L.A. Arson Case

Four dead people were found inside a burning house in Los Angeles.  The four victims are believed to have been victims of homicide, according to police.

The victims' deaths were connected to a robbery that took place nearby the burning house.  The robbery occurred at a near-by Wal-Mart shortly before the house was discovered burning.  The police have reason to believe that the robbery, homicides and arson are connected. 

It is reported that investigators found "visible trauma" to the victims and that the victims' bodies were found in separate locations throughout the burning home.  The bodies appear to be bodies of one adult and three teenagers.  There is no clear evidence yet if the fire started before or after the murders, but law enforcement is investigating closely. 

According to news.xinhuanet.com, "Firefighters discovered the bodies Tuesday morning when they responded to a fire in the Lancaster area, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department."
