Police Charge Teenager in Double Homicide in Winthrop

WINTHROP, Maine - Police say they've charged a teenage boy with a double-killing in Winthrop.

Police declined to say whether the boy is related to the victims, Antonio and Alice Balcer, whose bodies were found early Monday at their home. The couple had two sons.

Maine Public Safety Department spokesman Steve McCausland says the teenager is due to make an appearance Tuesday in Augusta District Court on two counts of murder. The teenager was being detained at Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland.

McCausland said the 911 call was made at 1:45 a.m., and that the bodies were found inside the home.

McCausland declined to provide any further details and said both sons are "accounted for.'' Autopsies were scheduled for Tuesday in Augusta.
