A member of the Comanche Nation from Fort Cobb has been charged in the deaths of three of his children.
Federal investigators say Dean Robert Payne, 47, was given a protective order hours before a house fire killed Tye, 5; Keelie, 7; and Cirea, 9. Their bodies were discovered inside the burned-out house early Aug 26. Payne was served with the protective order the previous night. Officials said his wife, Traci, had accused him of assaulting her.
Hours after the bodies were found, officials questioned Payne and subsequently charged him with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of arson.
Investigators say Traci Payne was not at home when the fire broke out.
