   Kill them both.  Absolutely no mercy.   
      
   In 2015, Amy Vilardi gave emotional interviews to local TV stations   
   after her four elderly family members were killed in a Halloween   
   attack in their South Carolina home, saying they "didn't deserve   
   this."   
      
   Now Vilardi and her husband have been charged in their killings.   
      
   Amy and Rosmore "Ross" Vilardi remained jailed Tuesday in Anderson   
   County on four counts of murder each, authorties said. They have a   
   preliminary court hearing scheduled for Feb. 20.   
      
   The case hadn't been added to the state's online court records   
   system as of Tuesday, and a spokesperson for the county sheriff's   
   office said the agency has not identified an attorney who might   
   speak on their behalf. In interviews with news outlets since the   
   killings, the couple has said they are innocent.   
      
      
   During a news conference Friday to announce the charges, Sheriff   
   Chad McBride declined to say why they were brought so long after the   
   killings, adding that such details would be reserved for court.   
      
   "God bless this family. They've been through so much," McBride said.   
   "They've waited for a long time."   
      
   The killings shocked Pendleton, a rural town of about 3,500 people   
   in western South Carolina about 110 miles northeast of Atlanta.   
      
   According to McBride, Amy Vilardi called authorities on Nov. 2,   
   2015, to report the deaths of her 60-year-old mother, Cathy Scott,   
   85-year-old grandmother, Violet Taylor, 58-year-old stepfather Mike   
   Scott and his 80-year-old mother, Barbara Scott. Amy and Ross   
   Vilardi lived next door to the victims on the same property, FOX   
   Carolina reported.   
      
   Authorities said the scene where the victims had been shot and   
   stabbed was "gruesome" and among the worst some investigators had   
   ever seen. Although the killings gained widespread attention, no one   
   was arrested until last week.   
      
   Shortly after the slayings, Amy Vilardi told CBS Spartanburg, S.C.   
   affiliate WSPA-TV the victims were "wonderful people," and "would do   
   anything for anybody. They just didn't deserve this."   
      
   In a separate interview with WYFF-TV after the murders, she said she   
   found the bodies after opening the back door of the home.   
      
   "I don't understand why any of it has happened and I just keep   
   thinking it's a dream I'm going to wake up from," Vilardi told the   
   station. "Whoever did this, I don't see how you can live with   
   yourself."   
      
   The defendants and some of their other relatives filed claims and   
   counterclaims over belongings and thousands of dollars in cash that   
   was taken as evidence from the property. Those assets were   
   eventually divided among them in a 2021 settlement.   
      
   At the news conference, McBride applauded his investigators and the   
   victims' other family members for never giving up.   
      
   "I wish that the families weren't having to deal with this," McBride   
   said. "But I hope this is a good day for them, at least the first   
   step in getting justice."
