DETROIT, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Four men were found guilty in a Detroit court in the deaths of two women abducted from their home in February.
Abreeya Brown, 18, and Ashley Conaway, 22, were kidnapped outside their Hamtramck, Mich., home after a shootout between the kidnappers and Abreeya Brown's stepfather. The women were found nearly a month later in a shallow grave in a Detroit park, each shot in the head with their mouths, legs and hands bound with duct tape, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.
