Three dead in Farmington, suspect in custody

At about 9:30 last night Farmington Police Officers were dispatched to residence in the 5400 block of 183rd Street West to check the welfare of a person visiting that residence. Upon arriving and investigating the call, officers located three deceased adults inside the home.
