No bail for PA cousins facing charges over 4 deaths

No bail for PA cousins facing charges over 4 deaths

Two cousins facing homicide charges in the disappearances of four missing Pennsylvania men will be held without bail.

A judge ruled Friday that 20-year-old Cosmo DiNardo and 20-year-old Sean Kratz will be jailed separately after prosecutors argued the men were dangers to society.

DiNardo's lawyer said his client confessed to the murders in exchange for prosecutors agreeing to not seek the death penalty. He is charged in the deaths of all four men.

Prosecutors are still weighing whether to pursue capital punishment against Kratz, who is charged with three counts of homicide.

A criminal complaint alleges the defendants brought the victims to the farm ostensibly to buy marijuana from DiNardo.

All four victims were shot and at least three set afire.
