A married South Carolina couple has been charged in the stabbing and shooting deaths of four members of their family.

Amy Vilardi and Rosmore “Ross” Vilardi each stand accused of four counts of murder over the Halloween 2015 slayings of Cathy Scott, Michael Scott, Barbara Scott, and Violet Taylor. The victims — each stabbed and shot — were Amy Vilardi’s mother, father-in-law, grandmother-in-law, and maternal grandmother.

The Vilardis were arrested on Friday after being named persons of interest in the case by the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office in March.
