Kent Police arrested a man and a woman for allegedly killing a 60-year-old man Monday night, Feb. 22 in his East Hill home.<\/p>\n

Officers were dispatched at about 8:55 p.m. to a home in the 13200 block of Southeast 277th Street<\/a> to assist paramedics with a CPR in progress, according to Kent Police. Paramedics were on scene providing life-saving measures. They observed an assault on the man, so they called for police assistance. The man died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Officers interviewed witnesses who said that two adult suspects were known and had been in the resident’s home providing a home repair service when an argument ensued over payment and the two assaulted the man.<\/p>\n

The suspects fled the area in an unknown type truck, but an officer obtained a vehicle description through investigation and police located the truck in north Kent still occupied by both suspects.<\/p>\n

Police took a 31-year-old Kent man and a 27-year-old Kent woman into custody without incident.<\/p>\n

In a statement, police did not say how the man was assaulted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
