BANDERA, Texas – A man was arrested on two counts of murder after deputies found two bludgeoned, decomposing bodies in a Bandera home, according to a report from the Bandera Bulletin.
Bandera County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Matt King told the paper that the two victims, whose identities have not been released, were found lying in bed Friday evening at a home in the 8700 block of Wharton’s Dock Road.
Michael Andrew Novak, 28, has been charged with murder.
King told the Bulletin that responding deputies “smelled decomposition. They looked in the windows and saw bodies in the bedroom.”
He also said the victims’ bodies appear to have suffered “severe trauma” to their heads.
“We believe it’s the residents, but due to the trauma and decomposition, we haven’t been able to positively identify,” King told the Bulletin.
According to the paper, a responding deputy saw a bedroom door shut slowly as he entered the residence and that’s when Novak was arrested.
His bonds have been set at a combined $1 million, King said.
KSAT has reached out to the Bandera County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
