DeKalb men arrested in Social Circle murder

SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. -- On Friday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) arrested two men in connection with the brutal murder of a Stone Mountain man. 

The men, Corey Thomas, 24, and Antonio Jones, 24, have been charged with the murder of Akili Stewart, 36. 

Stewart's body was discovered in late March, near a brush fire near Highway 278 and I-20; autopsy results concluded that Stewart had died as a result of gunshot wounds. 

The GBI, the Dekalb County Police Department, the Social Circle Police Department and the Georgia State Fire Marshal's Office have been investigating Stewart's death since Friday, March 30, 2012.

Both of the men are residents of DeKalb County. 

Principal sends out warning about new "Salt & Ice" game

COVINGTON, Ga. -- "Ahh, ahh, it burns," says an unidentified teenager trying to impress the cyberworld with his ability to hold salt and ice against his skin.  But instead of cries of pain, teens seem to hear an invitation to try it themselves.

"Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame and with things going viral these days I think kids are really reinforced by that kind of behavior," says child psychologist Anthony Levitas with the Behavioral Institute of Atlanta.

Principal Victor Lee says the cyber world hit home when teachers started to report rectangular and square shaped burn marks on students arms.  His school nurse told him she'd seen 24 students, some with multiple burns, in just two weeks.

"They were red, In some cases they were puffy. Some of our kids had two or three marks. They're leaving some significant scarring in the children," said Lee.
