WASHBURN (KFSM) — A man accused of murdering two brothers earlier this week appeared for an arraignment on Wednesday (Jan. 4).
Stanley Ambrose Mazurek, 34, was formally charged with first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, residential burglary and property theft, according to a press release from Sebastian County prosecuting attorney Daniel Shue.
Mazurek was appointed a public defender, who entered a plea of not guilty, the release states.
The bodies of Roger Allen Woods, 48, and Bradley Scott Woods, 32, were discovered by their father on Monday (Jan. 2), according to the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office. The two were killed inside their Washburn home along Highway 10.

Mazurek is being held on a $500,000 cash bond.
