Police arrested two Niagara area men last Wednesday, charging them each with 2nd degree murder.

The additional people arrested, ranging in age from 23 to 44, were arrested Friday, and are all from the Niagara region.

Each has also been charged them with 2nd degree murder.

They all appeared in court on Friday in St. Catharines.
