WILKES-BARRE, Pa.—Two men charged in the stabbing death of a northeastern Pennsylvania porn producer are to be tried together.
Lawyers for 34-year-old Joseph Kerekes and 27-year-old Harlow Cuadra argued for their clients to have separate trials, saying they might incriminate each other. A Luzerne County judge ruled Monday that the two men from Virginia Beach, Va., must be tried together.

Both are charged in the death of Bryan Charles Kocis, who was repeatedly stabbed in his Dallas, Pa., home last year before the house was then set on fire. Prosecutors say the motive was a business dispute in the gay porn industry.
