Man indicted for 'killing elderly couple who met about buying a car'

A 28-year-old man has been indicted in the murders of an elderly couple who believed they were meeting him to buy their dream car.

Ronnie 'Jay' Towns, who was arrested on January 26, was formally charged with multiple counts, including malice murder, felony murder and armed robbery, in Telfair County, Georgia on Monday.

Towns allegedly shot Marietta couple, Elrey 'Bud' Runion, 69, and his wife June, 66, after he responded to Mr Runion's Craigslist post seeking his dream car.

The grandfather was looking for someone willing to sell their 1966 Ford Mustang convertible; he had bought the same model after returning from the Vietnam War decades ago.
