Two murder suspects in Pemiscot County were in court yesterday. Dejuan Lee Hill and Zyion Nakeith Cooper are charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action in the August death of Larry McIntyre of Caruthersville.

Hill waived formal arraignment and pleaded not guilty. Cooper was scheduled for a preliminary hearing, however, a motion filed by Associate Prosecutor Steve Horton was granted to allow both men to appear together.

Hill and Cooper will be back in court next week.
