First mother, then sister found malnourished

Many of Andrew Jones's neighbours thought he lived alone in Lawrence Heights – until Tuesday, when paramedics used a blanket to carry his emaciated sister out of his townhouse.
The 60-year-old woman hadn't eaten in days, police said, and she had been living in a room infested with cockroaches. Almost three months ago, Jones's malnourished 95-year-old mother was removed from the same room.
"The conditions they were living in were absolutely repulsive," said Det. Const. Kathy Washington. "It was probably the most horrifying thing I've gone through in my career."
