Two people were "burned beyond recognition" in a double homicide in Covington, police said Monday.

The bodies were found outside, behind Dependable Glass, by employees when they arrived for work around 7 a.m. Monday, according to Sgt. Edwin Masters, spokesperson for the Covington Police Department.

The scene is in the 500 block of East Gibson Street (map), according to police.

Masters said that evidence at the scene indicates that the two were victims of homicide. The crime scene remained active as of 8:30 a.m.

Masters said it's too early to determine how the victims were killed and that it will be up to the St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office to determine the cause of death.

Covington has had one other homicide this year. Jyrion Dangerfield, a 20-year-old college student, was found dead in his car near a park in July. That crime remains unsolved.
