Police said the victims were lured to a home before they were tortured and killed.
An Alabama middle school assistant principal is among four people arrested in connection to a 2013 Georgia cold case triple murder, Clayton County Sheriff Levon Allen announced on Friday.
Keante Harris, assistant principal at McAdory Middle School, faces three counts of malice murder, alongside Kevin Harris, Darrell Harris and Kenneth Thompson. The four are accused of killing and torturing three victims who were discovered dead in Fulton County, Georgia, in 2013.
According to Allen, the bodies were discovered by police on the side of a highway inside an abandoned Dodge Charger.
Detectives determined the three victims were lured to a home in Jonesboro, Georgia and forced inside at gunpoint, before later being placed in the back seat of the vehicle, Allen said.
According to local news station WSFA, the victims are Cheryl Colquitt-Thompson, 32; her uncle, Quinones King, 33; and Rodney Cottrell, 43. Medical examiners determined that King and Cottrell died from asphyxiation and Colquitt-Thompson died by strangulation.
