AMHERST, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Two suspects wanted in a triple homicide in western Wisconsin have been arrested.
Authorities say Khamthanet Rattanasack was found at a home in Amherst around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday night and Nya Thao was apprehended at a home in Wausau about 1:45 a.m. Thursday.
Earlier this week, a car believed to be used in the crime was found in Bellevue. At the time, authorities were concerned the two could be in the Brown County area.
Last week, the bodies of Peng Lor and Nemo Yang, who were both 24, and 23-year-old Trevor Maloney were discovered shortly before 5 a.m. Friday by two Milestone Quarry workers. The quarry is located northeast of La Crosse along the Minnesota border. La Crosse County Sheriff Jeff Wolf has called the deaths a “targeted act” but has not said how the men died.
The La Crosse County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday said investigators believe the men and their killer or killers were acquainted, but they didn’t specify how they might have known each other.
