MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 04th February, 2023) Law enforcement officials of the Tulare County in the US State of California have arrested two individuals suspected of murdering six people, including an infant, in mid-January, local sheriff's office said.

"Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux announced the arrest of 35-year-old Angel Uriarte of Goshen and 25-year-old Noah Beard of Visalia for the heinous murders of six people, including a 10-month-old baby, on January 16th," the sheriff's office said on social media on Friday.
