Roy Murry, Richard Aguirre plead not guilty

Roy Murry, who is accused of killing three family members at a home in Colbert, and Richard Aguirre, who was linked through DNA evidence to the 1986 murder of a Spokane prostitute, entered not-guilty pleas this morning in Spokane County Superior Court. Murry, 30, pleaded not guilty to three counts of premeditated first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of arson for the killings of Spokane fire Lt. Terry Canfield, 59; his wife, Lisa Canfield, 52; and her son, John Constable, 23. Their bodies were found with multiple gunshot wounds after a fire that ravaged their Colbert home on May 26. Aguirre, a former Pasco police officer, pleaded not guilty to one count of second-degree murder — reduced from a first-degree murder charge — for the 1986 killing of Ruby Doss in Spokane. Aguirre also pleaded not guilty to a voyeurism charge stemming from a separate incident in Spokane Valley in which he allegedly filmed a man in a hotel room without the man’s permission.
