GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A trial is scheduled for two men arrested and charged with murder about two years after the bodies of a man and a woman were found in Greenville County home where a fire had broken out.

The Greenville News reports (https://grnol.co/1HmyyBK) a trial is scheduled to begin Monday in Greenville for 26-year-old James Michael Johnson of Greer and 21-year-old Manuel Nicholas Granados of Swannanoa, North Carolina.

They’re charged with the deaths of 18-year-old Amber Daniel of Greer and 30-year-old Christopher Porcoro, who were shot in April 2011 at a home in Taylors.



Another man, Scott Corey Lowe of Greenville, is serving a 20-year sentence after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter. Documents show Daniel had broken up with Lowe about 48 hours before she was killed.
