TRIAL BEGINS IN KIDNAPPING, DOUBLE MURDER CASE

The trial of two men suspected of killing two others begins today in Somerset County. Samson Washington and Devon Wyrick are accused of taking James Smith and Damian Staniszewski hostage, and later killing them, dumping them in a wooded area near Ligonier Pike in 2017. The trial, which has been delayed several times in recent years, should last through late next week.
