(BARTHOLOMEW CO.) - Drugs were regularly bought and sold in the Waynesville home where four people were killed, the prosecution and a witness said during opening arguments and the first day of testimony in the Samuel E. Sallee murder trial.
Daniel Burton, the son of 53-year-old Katheryn Burton -- one of three people killed the night of May 11, 2013 -- shared this fact with investigators during a walk-through the morning after returning home from work and finding the bodies of his mother Katheryn, 39-year-old Thomas Smith, 41-year-old Aaron Cross and 40-year-old Shawn Burton.
Investigators found meth inside the home. Relatives believe the murders are the result of a drug deal.
When he took the stand, Daniel estimated that five or six people a day came through the house, mostly on drug-related business.
