Marion County grand jury indicts 5 on murder charges

FAIRMONT, W.Va. — A Marion County grand jury has handed up five first-degree murder indictments.

The prosecutor’s office said the indictments are sealed because those named are not yet in custody.

The five are accused of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit a felony and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Other indictments released are in connection with the robbery of a Fairmont convenience store. The grand jury indicted Timothy Jones, 20, of Bridgeport, and Dylan Edwards, 19, of Fairmont. Both are accused of first-degree robbery, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, grand larceny, and conspiracy.

Those indicted will be arraigned and trial dates set in the near future.
