CONNERSVILLE MAN CHARGED WITH TWO MURDERS

(Connersville, IN)--A year and a half after two fatal gunshot victims were found in two different Connersville cemeteries, investigators say the man responsible is now behind bars.  Joshua Farmer has been charged in connection with the deaths of Thomas Combs and Joshua Durham.  An affidavit indicates Farmer was linked to the crimes through DNA evidence on beer cans and bullet casings.  During an interview, Durham admitted to the shootings but said that he didn’t do it on purpose.  He also confessed to another shooting in Liberty and another one in Connersville, although neither was fatal.  Durham is set to go on trial in an arson case next month.
