The victims had their throats cut, according to a medical examiner, and court records indicated that police believe the slayings were premeditated. Search warrants were eventually sealed in the case.
Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Capt. Elizabeth Scott said Thursday the office is not commenting on a motive.

The suspects are incarcerated at various jails in Pennsylvania. All, with the exception of Hugh Green, were already incarcerated for unrelated charges, according to the release.
Three of the suspects show up with criminal records in Philadelphia.
Green has convictions between 2011 and 2018 on charges of manufacturing illegal drugs with intent to deliver, according to court records.
Allen was convicted of the same drug charge in 2013.
Wilson also has the same drug convictions, in 2013 and 2016, along with other drug possession convictions. He also faced assault and attempted murder charges in 2013, but those charges were dismissed.
