MONTEZUMA, Ga. (AP) - A Georgia man has been charged in a monthlong violent rampage that included three deaths.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that 41-year-old Quentin James Sanders turned himself in to Montezuma police Sunday night after a woman found naked and covered in blood on a street said he’d stabbed her and slashed her throat that day.

GBI agents later linked Sanders to the Friday shooting deaths of 77-year-old Ruthe Bracknell and her son, 53-year-old Mark Abbott. He’s also accused in the Jan. 8 shooting of 49-year-old Ida Mae Ford, an armed robbery, shots fired at Mercer University students and an armed carjacking.
