Suspect Antonio Williams, 24, who is one victim’s brother and the two other victims’ cousin, was taken into custody late Friday night.

Police were called just after 7:30 a.m. Friday morning to a scene that police spokeswoman Jennifer Donelan referred to  as “one of the most difficult scenes that our officers arrived on.”

Donelan said that a family member arrived home to find the three girls, 6-year-old Nadira Withers, 9-year-old Ariana Decree and 6-year-old Ajayah Decree, murdered.

In a Friday interview, Donelan hesitated to disclose details about the investigation, saying that she didn’t want to jeopardize it. Prince George County Police Chief Hector Velez noted, “I wear a uniform, but I am a father. Those that responded here today are parents, aunts, uncles of young children that they love very much.”

Williams lives on the same street as the home where the girls were murdered, the Daily Mail reports.

Donelan tried to calm local parents, saying, “We believe that this [crime] is confined to this particular home.”
