LILLINGTON, N.C. (AP) - A man has been jailed after being arrested in the deaths of two women and an infant child discovered in a central North Carolina home.

The Harnett County Detention Center confirmed Sunday that 24-year-old Kareem Daquan Taylor has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and probation violations. He was held without bond awaiting a Monday court appearance.

Multiple news outlets reported that Taylor was arrested Saturday night in Cameron, after warrants had been issued for him.

The jail had no information on an attorney for Taylor.
