A man from Wingham is facing two counts of first degree murder in a double homicide that took place in a rural community north of London. 

Police are not releasing the identity of the victims, as a publication ban was ordered, but investigators said the accused, 56, was arrested at the scene Thursday without incident.

A woman was also taken to hospital with unknown injuries Friday when police arrived at the home located on C Line Road, southwest of Wroxeter.

She has since been released from hospital. 

Police said the accused is to appear by video link in court April 3 in Goderich.
