Two gay porn actors are facing murder charges over the killing of Cobra Video producer Bryan Charles Kocis in January.

Harlow Cuadra, 25, and Joseph Kerekes, 33, are being processed at a Pennsylvania State Police barracks.

CourtTVnews.com reports that Cuadra and Kerekes arve believed to have gone to Kocis’ Dallas, Pennsylvania home on January 24th and slashed his throat.

After he was dead, they stabbed him 28 times and burned his body and home to hide the crime, according to court documents.

Kocis’ body was found that night when firefighters responded to the blaze.

Cuadra and Kerekes were arrested in May, almost four months after the murder.

The pair had been held in the Virginia Beach County Beach Jail while they initially fought extradition. They were extradited Tuesday to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Police made the arrests after they found evidence on a computer that survived the fire.

E-mails showed that Cuadra, pretending to be a new model, arranged a meeting with Kocis on the night of his murder, according to court documents.

The Citizen’s Voice reports that police said Cuadra and Kerekes killed Kocis because they wished to employ one of his premier actors, 20-year-old Sean Lockhart, who was embroiled in a long contract dispute with Kocis.

Lockhart is also known in the porn industry as Brent Corrigan.
