Two more people have been charged with murder in the death of a man from Minnesota​ who authorities say was tortured for more than a month before being killed in upstate New York.

Five people have been arrested and charged in New York in connection with the disappearance and death of a 24-year-old Minnesota transgender man who was reported missing earlier this week, officials said.

Seven suspects have now been arrested and charged with murder after the body of 24-year-old Sam Nordquist was found last week in upstate New York.
