PRAGUE — A Prague woman was found dead inside her home Saturday morning, and two men have been arrested on murder complaints, authorities said.

Sheryl Lynn Haven, 57, was found by her granddaughter's friend in the residence, 10171/2 Klabzuba Ave., about 7 a.m., Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown said.

Authorities arrested Levi Ellis, 28, and Timothy Stephens, 19, both of Prague, on first-degree murder complaints. Both men are in the Lincoln County jail, she said.

Investigators found signs of trauma on Haven's body, Brown said, but the medical examiner will release the cause of death.

The suspects and the victim knew each other, she said, but did not elaborate on their relationship.
