Prelim hearing for pair accused in 4 Tulsa murders
May 23, 2013 07:08 GMT
TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- A preliminary hearing is scheduled to get underway for a pair of brothers accused in the January shooting deaths of four women at a crime-plagued Tulsa apartment complex.
The hearing for James and Cedric Poore is set to begin Thursday morning in Tulsa district court. It could last two days, according to court records.
The brothers are charged in the killings of 23-year-old twins Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson. The four were found tied up and shot in the head.
The Poores have pleaded not guilty.
Authorities believe the brothers robbed the women, then killed them because they feared they would be identified.
