Wimbley, a 29-year-old from Hartford, was arrested Tuesday, June 18. Trainor, a 22-year-old from Watervliet, was taken into custody on Saturday, June 22. Both have been arraigned on 1 count of open murder. Trainor also faces a charge of moving a body.

The pair remain in custody without bond. Their next court dates are set for July.
