THE man accused of the quadruple murder of a Tennessee family has made his first appearance in court on Thursday.

Austin Drummond, 28, entered a not guilty plea and was issued no bond when he appeared virtually at his arraignment in prison garb.

Drummond was apprehended on Tuesday following a manhunt that began on July 29, after the tragic discovery of James Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15, who were found deceased in a wooded area.

A baby girl, just seven months old, and linked to the victims, was found left in front of a home in West Tennessee, one county over from the site where the bodies were uncovered.

Drummond is a convicted felon with alleged ties to a violent street gang who was dating Rose’s sister, police said.

He was out on bail on an attempted murder charge at the time of the quadruple murders after serving 13 years in a cushy prison cell.

The motive in the killings is still a mystery, as well as the reason for Drummond allegedly leaving the baby in a random driveway.
