Two upstate New York men accused of butchering a Troy family just days before Christmas were indicted on murder charges Friday.
James White, 38, and Justin Mann, 22, pleaded not guilty during their arraignment Friday afternoon in Rensselaer County. They’re being held without bail. Both men are charged with nine counts of first-degree murder; four counts of second-degree murder; first-degree burglary; and first-degree robbery.
They also face two counts of criminal possession of stolen property—listed in the 17-count indictment as an Xbox system and flat-screen television.
The murders sent shockwaves through the Capital Region. As The Daily Beast previously reported, Shanta Myers, 36, and her girlfriend, 22-year-old Brandi Mells, were found slain in their basement apartment on Dec. 26.
