RICHMOND, VA. ? Two men were captured Saturday and charged in the brutal killings of seven people from two Richmond families, slayings that police hadn’t publicly tied together until now.

Police Chief Rodney Monroe said Ray Joseph Dandridge and Ricky Gavon Gray, both 28, were charged with conspiracy to commit murder and auto theft after they were arrested in Philadelphia driving a Cadillac that belonged to one of the victims.

The bodies of Percyell Tucker, 55; Mary Baskerville, 47; and her daughter, Ashley Baskerville, 21, were found Friday bound with duct tape in their ransacked Richmond home.

It was a similar scene when the bodies of Bryan Harvey, 49; his wife, Kathryn, 39; and their two young daughters, Stella, 9, and Ruby, 4, were found in their basement, bound with tape and their throats cut New Year’s Day.

The investigation into Friday’s triple homicide led police to Dandridge and Gray, Monroe said.
