A Norfolk man accused of sexual assault now also faces murder charges in the deaths of two women.

Police first arrested Michael Ebong last year for sexually assaulting a woman. That arrest came as police were investigating the deaths of two other women, Sheena West and Kelsey Paton. Both women were found dead months apart in Ebong's neighborhood.

Ebong was never charged with their deaths, until now. 

On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted him on two counts of second-degree murder. 

Additionally, he still faces charges of "intercourse through mental incapacity or helplessness" and "object sexual penetration by force, threat, etc." in the sexual assault case.
