The Wyandotte County district attorney’s office on Thursday charged Adrian Burks with four counts of first-degree murder for Monday’s quadruple homicide in Kansas City, Kan.
District Attorney Jerome A. Gorman announced the charges at a news conference Thursday. Burks was being held in the Wyandotte County jail on a $2 million bond.

The victims were James Warren, 66; Peggy Castleberry, 41; Amanda J. Remmers, 21; and
Juanita D. Castleberry-Bess, 3.
After the news conference, victims’ relatives met for about an hour with prosecutors.
Jesse Bess, the father of 3-year-old Juanita, said that rather than have his daughter’s killer face the death penalty, he wanted him to suffer.
“In fact, I want my daughter’s picture in his cell so every day when he wakes up, he knows what he did,” Bess said.The families declined further comment.
