Man indicted for role in 2008 triple slaying

A New Carrollton man has been indicted for his role in a 2008 triple slaying during a home-invasion drug robbery in Fairfax County, prosecutors announced Wednesday. Two brothers and a third man who rented a Springfield home together were fatally stabbed on Nov. 19, 2008. Federal prosecutors said that 34-year-old Delante T. Cook was indicted on robbery charges for his role in the slayings.

An indictment unsealed Wednesday charges that Cook and Jelani Slay committed the killings as part of a conspiracy to “obtain as much money and drugs as possible through robbery” by targeting Fairfax County marijuana dealers.
