Police call Arby's slayings inside job

WEST MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Police have arrested two Milwaukee men in a weekend robbery that left two employees dead at an Arby's fast-food restaurant in West Milwaukee, Wis.

Prosecutors said they expect to file first-degree murder charges against the unnamed youths ages 20 and 23. Their names were not released but one is an employee of the restaurant.

Police say the killers took an undetermined amount of money from the Arby's after shooting a 24-year-old assistant manager and a 17-year-old employee around closing time Sunday night.

"From the circumstances of what happened and how it happened, there was a pretty good feeling all along that this was not a random act," Fred Stauber, an Arby's regional executive, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The bodies of the slain employees were discovered by two co-workers who noticed their cars were still parked outside the restaurant at 11:30 p.m.
