PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Two people connected to the fatal shooting of a Florida Panhandle couple have been indicted in Mississippi on charges that they tried to discard guns used in the attack.

The State Attorney's Office announced Friday that Hugh and Pamela Wiggins were indicted on charges of accessory after the fact.

Pamela Wiggins already is jailed in Florida on a charge related to the July 2009 killings of Byrd and Melanie Billings. Hugh Wiggins turned himself in to authorities in Pascagoula, Miss.

The Pensacola News Journal reports the guns the couple allegedly tried to ditch were not used to shoot the couple.

Eddie Denson was also indicted on the same charge. Denson had told Florida investigators that Hugh and Pamela Wiggins gave him several guns to hold for them in Mississippi, days after the killings.
