A police spokesman said at the time that officers discovered the two bodies in a burned white Chevrolet Equinox, and determined the deaths were homicides.
In a news release on Monday, police identified the victims as 47-year-old Robert Waugh and 23-year-old Victoria King.
Police say Mark Elley was arrested Sunday at his home in Chipman in connection with the two homicides.
