CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. -- Police on Wednesday night were investigating a possible homicide involving at least two victims in a third-floor apartment at 16 Sylvian St.
Although the police remained tight-lipped about the investigation, a resident of the second-floor apartment, Amanda Medeiros, said that she and her family had been smelling a strange odor for three days and, on Tuesday night, saw maggots coming down from their ceiling.
She said her landlord advised them early Wednesday afternoon to leave the apartment.
The landlord allowed the police to enter the apartments sometime during the afternoon.
Medeiros said the third-floor apartment had been occupied by a woman and a baby as well as two young adults who had not been seen for a few days.
Medeiros said there had been a car fire in the parking lot adjacent to the apartment building last week.
