A soldier has been charged with murdering two fellow servicemen in upstate New York. Joshua Hunter, 20, surrendered to police in Ohio yesterday. He was based at Fort Drum, where the bodies of Waide James, 20, and Diego Valbuena, 23, were found earlier this week with multiple stab wounds at a complex housing military families. The motive for the killings is unknown, CNN reports.
