The victim of a reported murder and arson investigated by Newton County authorities in early January has been identified, and further details of the incident have been made available with the filing of probable cause affidavits Tuesday.
Court documents identify the victim as Jerry Don Cantrell. Cantrell’s body was discovered on Jan. 9, after the Newton County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a structure fire at a residence in Oark.
As firefighters sifted through debris at the scene, they observed a body inside the structure. A wallet found underneath the deceased provided identification of the body.
