PLAINFIELD, Ill.,  (KBSI) — Two people face first-degree murder charges after the remains of a Plainfield man were found in Lake Mattoon, according to Illinois State Police.

A boater found an arm belonging to 38-year-old Dalewayne Turner in the lake June 28. Additional searches of the lake and a Plainfield residence uncovered more evidence, police said.

James Adams, 26, and Robin Turner, 62, were initially charged July 2 with concealment of a homicide and dismembering a human body.

Following an investigation by the Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigation, the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office approved three counts of first-degree murder against each suspect July 29.

Adams and Turner remain in custody.

The charges are accusations. Both defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
