The juveniles are among five accused linked to the brutal killings of seven people in Philippi last month, where the victims were allegedly shot and their bodies set alight to destroy evidence.

The case has taken a further dark turn as both teens are also scheduled to appear in court on Friday on separate charges of double murder and attempted murder, with information that the crimes share the same disturbing modus operandi - shooting victims, collecting bullet casings, and burning bodies to conceal evidence.
