One of two suspects in the slayings of six people near Carnation is the daughter of the oldest victims, police said.

Michele Anderson, the 29-year-old daughter of Judy and Wayne Anderson, who own the property where the shooting occurred, has been booked into the King County Jail on six counts of suspicion of homicide.
Michele Anderson's boyfriend, Joseph McEnroe, 29, also has been arrested and booked on the same allegations, authorities said.

Formal charges are expected to be filed by the end of the week, King County sheriff's spokesman John Urquhart said.

The suspects were arrested after they showed up at the crime scene in the 1800 block of 248th Avenue Northeast while police were there, Urquhart said. He said it wasn't his impression the two came to the home to turn themselves in.

The victims were slain on Monday, Christmas Eve, but their bodies weren't found until this morning. Urquhart said they apparently died of gunshot wounds.
