Three people have been arrested in the stabbing death three weeks ago of an El Dorado County man.
On Feb. 3, El Dorado County sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 3200 block of Sand Ridge Road in unincorporated Placerville where they found the body of 55-year-old Pete Thomas.
Thomas was dead from a stab wound to the chest, according to sheriff’s Lt. Tom Murdoch. Since then, detectives executed 17 arrest and search warrants during the investigation into the death of Thomas.
