Accused murderer indicted in Harrison County

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — The case against a Fairmont man who is charged with killing four people in Harrison County last summer is advancing.

This week, a Harrison County grand jury indicted Sidney Muller, 27, on four murder counts for the deaths of Christopher Hart, 26, Todd Russell Amos, 29, Freddy Swiger, 70, and Fred Swiger, 47, all of Harrison County.

Investigators claimed Muller shot and killed Hart and Amos at a home on Locust Ave. in Clarksburg on July 26, 2013 while trying to collect a $10,000 drug debt for pills he had provided.

The Swigers, a father and son team delivering newspapers on their normal route, were shot and killed outside of the home.  Police have said they were innocent bystanders.

Muller’s indictment was one of 73 a Harrison County grand jury returned after meeting on Monday and Tuesday.
