ENFIELD, North Carolina (WTVD) -- Two more people have been arrested in connection with an August quadruple murder on Fishing Creek Road in the Glenview community of Halifax County, near Enfield.

Keyon Quarice West, 23, and James Edward Powell, 25, both from Roanoke Rapids have been arrested, Sheriff Wes Tripp announced Monday.

In October, investigators arrested Matthew Simms, 25, of Enfield, in October and charged him with four counts of murder.
