VA Couple to be Sentenced in W.Va. Slayings

Posted: Updated:

HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) - A Virginia couple faces sentencing on charges stemming from the deaths of a West Virginia family.

Sentencing hearings for Lorie Ann Taylor-Keller and her husband, Nakia Keller, are scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Thursday in U.S. District Court in Harrisonburg. Each faces life in prison under plea agreements.

The Fulks Run couple pleaded guilty in June. The charges include crossing state lines to kill Taylor-Keller's ex-husband, 36-year-old Dennis "Chip" Taylor; his wife, 39-year-old Alliana Taylor; and her 5-year-old daughter, Kaylee.

The victims were fatally shot and their home in Hardy County, W.Va., was burned in October 2009.
