Funeral Services Sunday, Monday for Garland Homicide Victims

    ELLSWORTH, Maine (AP) _ Funerals are being held Sunday and Monday for a Maine mother and her two children who were allegedly killed by the woman's boyfriend.

    Keith Coleman faces three counts of murder in the deaths of 36-year-old Christina Sargent, 10-year-old Duwayne Coke and 8-year-old Destiny Sargent.

    A court affidavit says Coleman told investigators he chased down and strangled the children because they had witnessed their mother's death. Investigators say the three bodies were found last week in the mobile home Coleman shared with the victims in Garland.

  Combined services will be held Sunday and Monday in Ellsworth.

    Coleman is due back in court on Tuesday for a bail hearing.
