The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office is reporting the arrest of Bruce Strachan, the ex-con wanted in connection with a triple murder this past weekend in Lake Worth. He was arrested less than an hour ago in Delray Beach without incident.

Strachan, 25, will be charged with first degree murder in the early Saturday morning shooting deaths of his estranged wife, Yamika Murphy, along with two friends, Ronald Anthony Wright and Debbie Sears.

PBSO will update the case Tuesday morning.
