East Hartford Police have arrested the son of one of three victims found dead in an East Hartford home nearly two years ago.  Police say 48-year-old Brett Bednarz of Manchester faces charges of capital felony murder,  three counts of murder,  burglary, home invasion,  and violation of a protectiv e order.

Police served the warrant this morning,  and Bednarz was held in lieu of $3 million bond.

The bodies of his mother,  74-year-old Beverly Therrien,  and her tenants 53-year-old Michael Ramsey and 60-year-old Pamela Johns, were found in her home on Naomi Drive in East Hartford on Thanksgiving Day, 2010.  They had been beaten to death.

Bednarz,  who had been described as a “person of interest”  in the killings,  had been ordered to have no contact with his mother a month before the killings.
