Police: Suspects Confess To Killing East-Side Couple

Victims Found Bound, Stabbed In Home

Police say two suspects arrested Sunday for last week's slayings of an east-side Indianapolis couple are cooperating with investigators and have confessed to the crime.

Linden Cornewell (pictured, left), 23, of Indianapolis, and a male teenager were being held in connection with the deaths of Mayra Perez Gonzales, 48, and Manuel Gonzales, 49.

The couple's bodies were found Thursday night in their home, located in the 100 block of Villa Avenue. An autopsy Friday determined they died of multiple stab wounds.

Despite the suspects' cooperation, police said it's not clear who actually killed the couple.

The victims were bound and the home was ransacked, police said.

Cornewell and the teen, whose name was not released, were arrested after investigators received a tip, Indianapolis police said Sunday.

The couple moved to the United States from Cuba about six months ago, RTV6 reported.
