MOULTRIE — Bond has been denied for three of the seven teenagers charged with the July 5th murder of John Hester Sr., 68, at his Norman Park home.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed Superior Court Judge Jim Tunison issued an order Friday denying bond to Tykerious Jones, 17, Ty’Cameron Hayes, 18, and Adrian Robinson, 19.

On Wednesday, Tunison heard arguments from the three teenagers’ attorneys.

Jones, Hayes, Robinson, along with Derrick Phillips, Brandon Wynn, Christian Glover, and I-Key Pinkins, have been charged with murder and criminal attempt to commit armed robbery.

The seven were arrested on July 15th and 16th.  Charges included their stealing up to 30 guns.  However, only eight of those firearms were recovered.
