Two more people have been charged with murder in the death of a man from Minnesota​ who authorities say was tortured for more than a month before being killed in upstate New York.

Seven suspects have now been arrested and charged with murder after the body of 24-year-old Sam Nordquist was found last week in upstate New York.

The mother of a Minnesota transgender man who was tortured and killed in upstate New York suggested that his death was preventable if local authorities had "done their jobs."
