Two men are scheduled to stand trial Thursday for their alleged roles in a 2007 revenge-murder and attempted-murder conspiracy involving three members of an Anaheim Hills family.
Jaypraykash Dhanak, 56, and his daughter, Karishma Dhanak, 20, were slain and set on fire. Mother Leela Dhanak, who was 54, was beaten and stabbed in the attack but survived, the Orange County district attorney's office said.
Prosecutors allege that Iftekhar Murtaza, 27, stormed the Dhanaks' home in May 2007 with Vitaliy Krasnoperov and Charles Anthony Murphy Jr., both 26.
The men are charged with beating and repeatedly stabbing the father, whom they put in a bathroom while they waited for other family members to arrive. The men then beat and stabbed Leela Dhanak and forcibly detained Karishma Dhanak, the district attorney's office said in a statement.
