SUTTER COUNTY – A Dixon man has been arrested in connection to the case of two bodies found with gunshot wounds in Sutter County back in March.

The Sutter County Sheriff's Office said the two bodies were discovered March 17 near Kempton and Brewer roads in the town of Rio Oso. One of the people, later identified as 40-year-old Elk Grove resident Vicky Keovilayphone, was found inside an SUV.

Deputies said the other body, that of 40-year-old Yuba County resident Derrick James Engelman, was found about 50 yards away.

Both Keovilayphone and Engelman had gunshot wounds, the sheriff's office said.
