A judge has set the April 7 court date for Mason Sisk, who s charged as an adult with capital murder in the deaths of his father, mother and three siblings in Elkmont, Alabama, in 2019, WAAY-TV reported.
Sisk was 14 at the time of the slayings. The now-16-year-old is being held in the Limestone County Jail without bond.

Limestone County Circuit Judge Bob Baker, meanwhile, is considering a request to let him be transferred back to the Tennessee Valley Juvenile Detention Centre.
The teenager was placed in the county jail after he was charged in November as an adult in the case. His lawyers, Michael Sizemore and Lucas Beaty, said the law requires Sisk to be separated from adult inmates but they argue solitary confinement is not appropriate for him.
