DA: 2 face murder charges in teen's case

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) -- Two people from Rhode Island are scheduled to be arraigned on murder charges in the disappearance of a 19-year-old Worcester man.

The Worcester District Attorney's office says 19-year-old James Howze and 22-year-old Lara Cori will appear in the Thursday morning session at Westborough District Court.

District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. did not release further details Wednesday, but he said earlier this week that a body believed to be that of Joseph Webster was found in a storage container near the couple's Providence, R.I., apartment.

Howze and Cori have been held since they pleaded not guilty Monday to charges including assault and car theft in the case. Webster was last seen in mid-March at a Northborough, Mass., motel, where prosecutors say he was attacked and his car stolen.
