DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) One of two cousins charged in the deaths of four men found buried on a farm told authorities he didn't participate in the killings and said the pair went out for cheesesteaks afterward, a detective said at a court hearing Thursday.
Sean Kratz gave conflicting narratives when pressed by authorities to recall the July killings he described as a "massacre" and blamed the deaths on his cousin Cosmo DiNardo, said Detective Martin McDonough, who took a statement from Kratz after the slayings.
"He was methodical in the way that he presented his story," McDonough testified as he recalled Kratz's statement, adding that the suspect said he vomited after the first man was shot. "He initially thought that he could talk his way out of his involvement here."
DiNardo and Kratz, both 20, appeared Thursday in a Doylestown courthouse in separate hearings that were filled with dozens of the victims' family members who wiped away tears as details of the killings were discussed.
