LA CROSSE, Wis. (Learfield)-Two men charged in a western Wisconsin triple-murder case have entered not guilty pleas.

41-year-old Khamthaneth Rattanasack and 33-year-old Nya Thao made appearances late last week in La Crosse County Circuit Court. Each man is charged with first-degree intentional homicide.

They are scheduled to return to court next month. Prosecutors say they shot 24- year-old Peng Lor, 24-year-old Nemo Yang, and 23-year-old Trevor Maloney to death at a quarry in the Town of Hamilton early on the morning of July 23rd.

Investigators say each victim was shot multiple times.
