ATLANTA (AP) – A man accused of killing his wife, three of her family members and a friend is back in Georgia and expected to make a court appearance soon.

The LaGrange Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/1vs7fnp) that 26-year-old Thomas J. Lee is expected to appear Wednesday in Troup County Magistrate Court to face five charges of malice murder.

Lee was escorted into the Troup County Jail around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday after he waived extradition from Mississippi, where he had been apprehended Monday.

Troup County sheriff’s Sgt. Stewart Smith said authorities have found the car they say Lee used to flee.

All of the victims were found in the home near LaGrange, Georgia, where they and Lee lived.
