Authorities in Mississippi have arrested a suspect in connection to the murders of a couple found shot to death in a burning Georgia home last week.

The suspect is expected to be extradited to Georgia to face charges over the deaths of Brittany Hall, 28, and Derris Woods, 35.

The couple were found shot inside their burning Panthersville home on September 9.
