A 14-year-old and a 15-year-arrested in connection with the death of Willie Mae Hayes in Florence nearly a year ago have been charged as adults, 12th Circuit Solicitor Ed Clements III said.
Rakeem Floyd, 14, and Anthony Wilson, 15, face first-degree burglary, armed robbery and murder charges, said Clements, who is prosecuting the case.
Judge Ralph King Anderson Jr. handed down the ruling, he said.
Hayes, 69, was found dead on Malloy Street on Aug. 27 after she was reported missing by her family two days earlier.
