Hruby faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 50-year-old John Hruby, 48-year-old Tinker Hruby and 17-year-old Katherine Hruby.

Prosecutors say Alan Hruby killed the three because he was in debt and his parents had cut him off financially and he believed he would be the only heir to the estate. He remains jailed without bond.

John Hruby was publisher and his wife worked at The Marlow Review. Katharine Hruby was a student at Duncan High school. Their memorial services will be on Sunday at the First United Methodist Church in Duncan.
