ONTARIO COUNTY, N.Y. — The seven people accused of torturing and killing Minnesota native Sam Nordquist in a motel in Ontario County are due in court on Wednesday morning.

The suspects, who are all charged with first-degree murder, are scheduled to appear in Ontario County Court for an attorney conference.

The suspects are also charged with kidnapping, conspiracy, and concealment of a corpse. Prosecutors say the suspects tortured Nordquist for more than a month at Patty’s Lodge on State Route 5.

According to his family, Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man, traveled to the Finger Lakes area in September to meet Precious Arzuaga, his girlfriend who he connected with online. The family reported him missing on Feb. 9 after losing contact with him. Days later, investigators found his body in a field in Yates County. Arzuaga and her son are among those charged.
