NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A mother and son were found dead in Queens about 12 hours apart this week, and police arrested the dead man's brother, who is also the dead woman's son, in connection to the deaths Thursday.

Roscoe Danielson, 40, was arrested and charged with weapons offenses, concealment of a corpse, evidence tampering, possession of stolen property and acting in a manner injurious to a child under the age of 17.

He notably was not immediately charged with killing or assaulting either of the victims, who were each discovered with trauma to their bodies.

Kyle Danielson, Roscoe’s 31-year-old brother, was found dead with a puncture wound to his back stuffed in a garbage bag in Corona on Wednesday.

The two men’s 58-year-old mother, who police have not yet announced the identity of, was found dead Thursday with trauma to her torso in the family’s home on 104th Street near Northern Boulevard down the road from where Kyle’s body was discovered.

The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death for both victims.
