SEATTLE (AP) — Two men accused of killing three other men who vanished after leaving their jobs at a Seattle florist last December have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges.
The victims’ bodies were found in March at a plant nursery near the Seattle suburb of Kent.
KOMO-TV says 25-year-old Jose Alfredo Velez-Fombona and 36-year-old Alberto Avila-Cardenas entered their pleas Thursday.
The men are charged in the shooting deaths of Jesus Bejar-Avila of Lakewood, Yazmani Quezada-Ortiz of Tacoma and Cristian Alberto Rangel of University Place.
