HOUSTON (AP) - Houston police have charged the grandson of an 89-year-old minister with capital murder in the fatal beating of the pastor and his daughter.

Police arrested 20-year-old Cameron Dorsey near his grandfather's church Sunday. Court records show that he's booked into the Harris County Jail without bond. Court records list no attorney for the suspect.

The battered bodies of the Rev. Clements Dorsey and his 61-year-old daughter, Barbara Dorsey Alexander, were found in Dorsey's burning home. Investigators say the woman was visiting from Moreno Valley, Calif., both victims suffered blunt force trauma and the house was ransacked.

Wilson says the pastor's wife has dementia and slept through the killings. She wasn't hurt.
