KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Knoxville police say two men and a woman were killed at a homeless camp and three people have been arrested.

Police originally said they had found one man's body.

They have arrested 22-year-old Hope Warvi, 27-year-old Joshua Cool and 28-year-old Brandon Roberts, who are being held on unrelated charges.

Officers said the investigation began with a disturbance call Monday night that led them to a homeless camp where they found four people sleeping in a tent.

A body was discovered in a corner of the tent, covered by blankets.

Two more bodies were found over the next two days in areas near the camp.

Police have not publically identified the victims or said how they died.
