The guardians of Ashley and Caleb Flynn’s daughters have withdrawn a motion for a domestic violence temporary protection order against the husband, accused of murder in Ashley’s death, according to documents filed in Miami County Common Pleas Court Wednesday.

The document states that the guardians of the Flynn children were withdrawing the motion that they filed a little over a week ago on March 3, but reserved the right to file it again on a later date if necessary.

The two elementary-aged girls were taken to stay with family when their father Caleb Flynn, 39, was accused of murdering their mother early Feb. 16 at their Cunningham Court home in Tipp City.
