Video After The Jump

Six people are in jail today in Marion County, Florida after being arrested for participating in the brutal murder of a 15-year old boy.

Charlie Ely, 18; Amber E. Wright, 15; Michael Bargo, 18; Justin Soto, 20; and Kyle Hooper, 16, face first-degree murder charges.

And James Haven, 37, faces charges of accessory to the crime for helping dispose of the body and helping one of the suspects flee the area.

Seath Jackson

Authorities say Seath Jackson was lured to a house by Wright after being texted repeatedly. Once inside the home Jackson was attacked by Bargo, who masterminded the plot and Soto.

Jackson was beaten with a wooden stick, shot several times with a .22 caliber pistol, then put in a bathtub so his knees could be easily broken while his body was dismembered.

When the suspects realized Jackson wasn't dead he was shot again, then placed in a pit and burned. His ashes were placed into several paint containers and thrown into a large garbage can.

Authorities found out about the details of the killing after Hooper confessed to his mother he had seen the attack.
