The two suspects who were being questioned in connection with the murder of Mandeville couple Richard and Julia Lyn have been charged with murder.

The suspects, Lennox Swaby and Kevin Powell, were charged yesterday afternoon with two counts of murder. They have also been charged with burglary and robbery.

Swaby and Powell are scheduled to return to court this week on the charges.

The remains of the Lyn's were recovered from a dump in Manchester on December 29, some 19 days after they were reported missing.
