ATLANTA (AP) - A man has been accused of killing his mother and her husband, who were found strangled and left in a burning Atlanta home last summer.

News outlets report 47-year-old Keith Sylvester was arrested Saturday.

He is charged with two counts of murder in connection with the July 3 deaths of 67-year-old Harry Hubbard and 65-year-old Deborah Hubbard.

A medical examiner said the couple died before the fire from strangulation and thermal injuries.

WGRZ-TV reports Sylvester is the oldest son of Deborah Hubbard, who had moved from Buffalo, New York, to Atlanta with her husband less than a year before their deaths.

It is unclear whether Sylvester has an attorney who could comment on the charges.
