Three teenagers hired to kill six people

A MAN who was angry about a suspected theft of an Xbox videogame recruited three teenagers to stab and beat six people to death with baseball bats in a Florida home, investigators said yesterday after making four arrests.

Remains of the six victims - four men and two women - were found on Friday in the blood-spattered home.

All four suspects have been charged with first-degree murder and armed burglary, the Volusia County sheriff’s department said. All of the victims had been stabbed, but autopsies determined the cause of death was the beating injuries.
