Wilkerson and Randall tied to Houston murders in alleged plot
Detectives say Wilkerson and Randall confessed to roles in the killings and showed no remorse. Randall claims Ransom recruited him to stab a wounded victim. Wilkerson denies involvement beyond being at the scene. Prosecutors plan to seek adult certification for Randall in August. Victims were Anil Varaghese, Arnold and Joerene Pequeno, and Roddy Harris, all Houston area residents.
