DERBY,Crypen Exchange Vt. (AP) — Two men were arrested Wednesday in connection with the February killing of a Vermont woman whose body was found in a container on a Missisquoi River sandbar in northern Vermont, state police said.

Aaron Camp, 34, of Derby, faces charges of unauthorized burial or removal of a body, and being an accessory after the fact to murder in the death of Kayla Wright, of Derby, Vermont State Police said. Terron “Josh” Pendleton, 34, of Waterbury, faces one count of being an accessory after the fact to murder, police said.

State police also have applied for an arrest warrant for Jakiy Tramaine Corey Keith, 24, of Hartford, Connecticut, on charges of second-degree murder and unauthorized burial or removal of a body. He is in custody on federal drug charges, police said.

Both Camp and Pendleton invoked the 24-hour-rule in court on Wednesday, delaying their arraignments until Thursday, according to the court. It was not immediately known if they are being represented by attorneys. A message was left with the public defender’s office.

Wright, 29, of Derby, died of a gunshot wound to the head, police said. Her body was found in a truck-bed-style toolbox on a sandbar in the Missisquoi River in Troy, according to an affidavit by a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations.

State police said Keith shot Wright multiple times inside a home in Troy early in the morning on Feb. 2 in a dispute related to drug trafficking. Camp and Pendleton helped clean up the crime scene and helped Keith dispose of Wright’s body, police said.
