Joliet police arrested a Bourbonnais man for the murder of a man and woman whose bodies were found inside a Joliet auto body repair shop March 9.
William N. Krasawski, 41, was taken into custody Thursday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, according to the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.
On March 9, an employee at Fleet Specialty Painting discovered two bodies inside the shop, located in the 800 block of East Cass Street. Police were notified at approximately 11:45 a.m., and identified the deceased as 48-year-old Michael Oram Sr., of Joliet, and 43-year-old Jamie Wills, of Lockport.
“There were injuries that were consistent with homicide, but that’s all that we’re going to say about it at this time,” Joliet Police Deputy Chief Al Roechner said during a press conference March 9.
At the time, Roechner said police were investigating the crime scene and analyzing surveillance footage from a couple nearby businesses. The state’s attorney did not say what led investigators to Krasawski, other than he was arrested during the course of the investigation into the murders.
Preliminary findings of an autopsy performed Thursday indicated that both victims died of multiple blunt force trauma to the head, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.
