ONTARIO, N.Y. -- A daughter is accused of conspiring with three others to kill her mother for insurance money, according to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office.
A four-month long investigation led to the arrest of Jasmine Harlee, 22; Knowledge Couser, 21; Davonte Devine, 18; and Malquam Drayton, 19, in connection to a February homicide at a mobile home in the town of Ontario.
Jasmine Harlee is the daughter of the victim, 52-year-old Julie Martin, who was found deceased in her home on Jonathan Lane in the town of Ontario. Sheriff Barry Virts says Couser is Harlee's boyfriend.
"This is very troubling," Virts said. "You're talking about a person that gave someone life and now they turn around, and it's alleged that they killed their parent, and conspired to kill their parent. That's very disturbing. It's very disturbing."
Virts did not release details about how Julie Martin died.
Harlee, Couser, Devine and Drayton are all charged with murder 1st and conspiracy. All were arraigned in Town of Ontario Court and are taken to the Wayne County Jail with no possibility of making bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Monday.
