The military has formally charged two Navy SEALs and two
special-operations Marines in one of the most grisly cases of fratricide
in recent U.S. history, The Daily Beast has learned.
Two members
of elite SEAL Team Six, Petty Officer Anthony E. DeDolph and Chief
Petty Officer Adam C. Matthews, along with two Marine Raiders face
charges that include felony murder, conspiracy, obstruction of justice,
burglary, hazing, and involuntary manslaughter in the strangulation death of a Green Beret, Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar. All four were charged with felony murder and with lying to investigators.
The
charges were proffered against the four on Wednesday, according to the
Navy. A preliminary hearing in military court is scheduled for December
10.
Melgar, assigned to the 3rd Special Forces Group, was killed in the West African nation of Mali in June 2017, as first reported by the New York Times.
