CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The Clarksville Police Department announced the arrests of two more suspects connected to a double homicide earlier this month.
The CPD confirmed that a 17-year-old male from Oak Grove, Kentucky, and 20-year-old Christopher Watkins, of Hopkinsville, were arrested on April 24, and April 25, respectively. They are charged with two counts of criminal homicide for their involvement in the murders of Savannah Lumpkin and Glenn Nicholson on April 8.
Hopkinsville Police officers arrested the 17-year-old on Wednesday. He has since been transported to a juvenile detention facility in Kentucky and awaits extradition to Tennessee to face charges. Watkins was arrested on Thursday in Clarksville and booked into Montgomery County Jail.
