Police say 35-year-old Khalid Arnaout has been charged with second-degree murder, while 32-year-old Charles Chambers, 34-year-old Michael Yost and 32-year-old Kevin Alexander Pigott are charged with manslaughter and accessory after the fact.

The second case involves the death of 25-year-old James Erickson, who was found dead in an apartment in February 2009.

Police say 28-year-old David Clifford Sadler has been charged with first-degree murder.
