Triple murder charges against a Virginia man will head to a Hardy County grand jury for consideration.

Nakia Keller, 34, of Rockingham County, Virginia appeared before Hardy County Magistrate Daniel Poling for a preliminary hearing Thursday afternoon.

Keller and his wife Lorrie Taylor, 34, are in custody after allegedly shooting and killing Taylor's ex-husband Chip, his wife Alaina Taylor, and Alaina's five-year old daughter Kaylee.

Testimony during Thursday's hearing said each victim was shot at least once and then their house in the Hardy County community of Mathias set on fire.

Investigators say Chip and Lorrie Taylor were in a custody battle over their three children.

Magistrate Poling ruled there was enough evidence against Keller to forward the charges. He was returned to the Potomac Highlands Regional Jail without bond.

Lorrie Taylor's preliminary hearing has been rescheduled for Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. She also remains in jail.
