KANE COUNTY, IL — Three years after a 36-year-old man was found dead inside a home following a fire near East Dundee, authorities have filed charges against two men in connection with the man's murder. Mahmood Roohani, 30, of West Chicago, and Miguel Cruz-Tinajero, 34, of Carpentersville, each face three counts of first-degree murder as well as aggravated arson and concealment of a homicidal death charges in connection with the death of Vesel Vejseli, authorities said Monday.

Vejseli's body was found after authorities were called to a residence in the 15N300 block of Richardson Drive in unincorporated Dundee at about 3:30 a.m. on June 7, 2017, according to a news release from the Kane County Sheriff's Office.
