Police have released the names of the mother and daughter found dead in a Warwick
A 19-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested and is being questioned by police over the murder of Maureen and Tamara Horstman in their Warwick home on Sunday afternoon.
Major Crime Squad detectives arrested the teenager at a Mirrabooka house.
Earlier, it was revealed the son and twin brother of two women found dead in their Warwick home has been ruled out as a suspect in the double murder after being questioned by police.
Tonight there are reports that the pair may have been murdered during a burglary gone wrong.

This evening, the 19-year-old man taken into custody by police was still being questioned and had not been charged.
The bodies of Tamara Alexandra Horstman, 26, and her mother Maureen Anne Horstman, 67, were found on Sunday afternoon after Tamara failed to arrive at work at Grand Cinemas Warwick.
Police arrived at the crime scene at about 2.30pm on Sunday. The parents of one of Miss Horstman's friends went to the Warwick address to check on her.
It was reported that around the same time Nicholas Horstman, the son and twin brother of the dead women, called triple zero. Mr Horstman bought the house with his mother and twin sister last year.

Police have not revealed how the women died, but it is believed Maureen suffered chest injuries and Tamara suffered head injuries.
The pair were found dead inside the Felgate Place home shortly after 2pm Sunday in separate rooms.
Mr Horstman was eliminated as a suspect and released after being questioned by homicide detectives.
Detective Superintendent Anthony Lee said being questioned by police did not indicate guilt or participation in the crime.

``When police take this action and it is reported a person is in police custody, the public should continue to provide information to police,'' he said.
Today, forensic police remain at the Felgate Place home, with items being seized from inside the double-storey house.
Tamara's Mazda3 car, which had been missing, was yesterday found in Mirrabooka, about 8km from where the bodies were found, after a member of the public heard via the media about the search and alerted police. Police had earlier yesterday issued a public plea for help over the whereabouts of the Mazda.
Police want to speak with anyone who saw the 2008 model sedan with the registration plate 1CZO 135 between 9am Sunday and midday on Monday. It was found parked on the corner of Teneriffe Place and Pampus Court in Mirrabooka.
Miss Horstman studied at Edith Cowan University after graduating dux of Prendiville Catholic College in 2004.
Her friends Teegan Dean and Rachel Hunter told Nine News last night they were still in disbelief over the double murder.
"It doesn't feel real," Miss Dean said.
Miss Hunter said Miss Horstman was "fun and crazy. She was the person you want to be with at a party."
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
