Triple Murder Suspect Captured in Arkansas After Two-Day Chase Little Rock, Arkansas – After a tense two-day chase, authorities in Arkansas have apprehended a triple murder suspect who fled the scene of the crime in a stolen vehicle. On Wednesday, 32-year-old Timothy Cravens allegedly shot and killed three people in North Little Rock. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing Cravens flee the scene in a blue Chevrolet Silverado. Law enforcement officers immediately launched an intensive search for Cravens, who was considered armed and dangerous. The stolen truck was located abandoned hours later, leading authorities to believe Cravens had fled on foot. A massive manhunt ensued, involving multiple agencies and hundreds of law enforcement personnel. Arkansas State Police, along with local police and federal agents, worked tirelessly to track down the suspect. Cravens eluded capture for nearly two days, reportedly hiding in wooded areas and breaking into unoccupied homes for supplies. However, on Friday morning, a SWAT team located him in a vacant house in Benton, Arkansas. After a tense standoff, officers entered the house and apprehended Cravens without incident. He was taken into custody and charged with three counts of capital murder and other related offenses. “We are relieved to have this dangerous suspect in custody,” said Little Rock Police Chief Kenton Buckner. “The community can rest easier knowing that justice will be served for these victims.” Cravens is currently being held without bond at the Pulaski County Jail. His motive for the alleged murders remains under investigation. The victims have been identified as 35-year-old Randal Robinson, 30-year-old Dorothy Robinson, and 5-year-old Nehemiah Robinson. The arrest comes as a relief to the community that has been shaken by the horrific crime. Authorities commended the efforts of all involved in the manhunt and expressed their gratitude for the public’s cooperation.EPRA Raids Illegal Gas Refilling Site in Machakos CountyEPRA Raids Illegal Gas Refilling Site in Machakos County On June 19, 2024, a multi-agency team led by the Energy Petroleum and Regulatory Authority (EPRA) raided a farm in Machakos County after receiving intelligence about an illegal gas refilling site. During the raid, conducted in collaboration with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), agents discovered an illegal gas refilling plant established by the property owner. Gas cylinders of various brands, an unlicensed LPG tanker, and a licensed canter truck loaded with full cylinders were recovered. EPRA revealed that the suspect had been refilling cylinders without authorization from the respective brands, posing a significant safety hazard to the public. The authority urged Kenyans to purchase LPG cylinders only from authorized dealers and to report suspicious LPG transactions to the hotline number 0709336000 or email [email protected]. In recent years, EPRA has consistently closed down illegal gas sites for safety reasons, as they often fail to comply with security guidelines. For instance, the February 2024 Embakasi gas explosion claimed the lives of over seven people and injured others, highlighting the gravity of such illegal activities.A 35-year-old man suspected of killing three people in Mississippi has been captured in Arkansas after a nearly two-day chase, police said.
