Cumberland County Sheriff’s Homicide Detectives have two suspects in custody who are charged with the murder of a local woman and her son.
32-year old Leondrea Montrell Robinson of 6925 Johnson Road and 44-year old Corey Lavone Spell of 5768 Mack Simmons Road, both of Fayetteville, are in custody at this hour. Both men are each charged with two counts of first degree murder, conspiracy, as well as breaking and entering. They are being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond.
Robinson and Spell are charged with the deaths of 57-year old Yolanda George and her son, 35-year old Jamal Skinner. The victim’s bodies were discovered by a neighbor on October 2, 2013. George’s body was found lying outside their home on Matt Hair Road. Skinner’s body was found inside the home.
The cause of death was determined to be from gunshot wounds, according to an autopsy performed by the State Medical Examiner.
Robinson and Spell will make first court appearances on these charges on Friday afternoon in the Detention Center courtroom.
