Man wanted in tortures, murders of 3 GA men a decade ago arrested in NC

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office said four men have been taken into custody tied to the deaths of three people from 11 years ago.

On Jan. 13, 2013, Union City police said they found a car with three bodies inside. Through more investigating, detectives determined that the victims had been tortured and murdered after being lured to a home on Magnolia Drive in Jonesboro.

The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office said the three were forced into the home at gunpoint, and then put into the back of a Dodge Charger and taken to Fulton County.

On Wednesday, the sheriff’s office issued arrest warrants for Kenneth Thompson, Keante Harris, Kevin Harris and Darrell Adams. All are charged with three counts of malice murder.
