"Delphi Murders Suspect Richard Allen Faces New Murder and Kidnapping Charges"
Prosecutors in Indiana have filed new charges, including murder and kidnapping, against Richard Matthew Allen, the suspect in the 2017 killings of two teenage girls in Delphi. The new charges aim to more accurately align the charging information with the cause's discovery and probable cause affidavit. Allen had previously been charged with two counts of murder, and if the prosecution can prove he kidnapped the girls, he can be brought up on two counts of felony murder. The accused killer's trial has faced delays and legal challenges, including the reinstatement of his original court-appointed attorneys and a defense claim that the girls were "ritualistically sacrificed" by a racist pagan cult.
