A Reading man and a teen are behind bars in Schuylkill County, accused of murdering a former Marine who was reported missing almost one year ago.
Oliver Trizarri, 21, of Reading, and a 17-year-old boy, whose name has not been released, were charged Sunday with criminal homicide, conspiracy and other offenses for allegedly killing 24-year-old Corey Samuels of Coaldale.
According to court documents, Trizarri told police that he and the teen defendant lured Samuels into rural Coaldale under the guise of going to smoke and drink on Jan. 20, 2014.
"[They] had it all planned out," said Tpr. David Beohm, Pennsylvania State Police.
Together, the two proceeded to attack Samuels by choking him, beating him and striking his head with a shovel, according to court documents.
Beohm told 69 News that the motive was revenge; Trizarri told investigators he and the teen suspect believed Samuels had sexually assaulted a female friend.
Samuels' father, Paul Samuels, however, said that this son would never do that. He believes the suspects are lying in order to receive a less severe punishment and hopes that justice will be served.
"I will get justice," he said. "I'm a firm believer in an eye for an eye."
The victim's father broke down while speaking of his son.
"My baby boy, my only child. I delivered him. I raised him."
Samuels' remains were discovered in early September by two people walking off East Miner Street in Coaldale.
Trizarri and the juvenile suspect were committed to the Schuylkill County Prison without bail. Both were arrested and arraigned before a district judge Sunday.
Schuylkill County District Attorney Christine Holman told 69 News that she is still deciding whether to seek the death penalty.
