Irondequoit quadruple murder suspect pleads not guilty in court Thursday

IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. — One of the men accused of murdering an Irondequoit family appeared in court Thursday.

Julio Pimentel Soriano has pleaded not guilty to murder, kidnapping, burglary and arson. Prosecutors turned over evidence to Soriano’s attorney on the condition that some of that information not be shared directly with Soriano.

“Certain information, primarily the names and contact information of specific witnesses, while available to defense counsel, will not be made available to the defendant,” said Perry Duckles of the district attorney’s office .

“We want to make sure that any witness who participated in the process does everything we can to prevent them from being harassed,” Duckles said.

Investigators believe Soriano and his brother, still at large, killed a couple and their children, ages two and four, in their Knapp Avenue home before setting it on fire.
