DENMARK, Maine — The caretaker of two individuals faces murder charges in a homicide investigation after both people were found dead Saturday afternoon at a home in Denmark.
Oxford County Sheriff's Office deputies conducted a welfare check for two individuals at a home in Denmark located on Fuller Lane at approximately 2 p.m. on Saturday, according to a news release from Maine Department of Safety Spokesperson Shannon Moss.
