Canton Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Murder

Charles F. Young, 44, of Canton was sentenced to life in prison after a Wayne County Circuit Court jury convicted him of two counts of first-degree murder and disinterment/mutilation of dead bodies.

Young faces life without parole, according to a report from the Observer & Eccentric, for killing two people whose burned bodies were found in an abandoned Detroit house in February 2012.

Canton police had no involvement in the case, according to the report.
