Two suspects in the Babylon body parts case appeared in court today.

A judge says he's hoping the trial for Jeffrey Mackey can begin early next year.

Mackey and Alexis Nieves are both facing murder charges.

Both of their appearances today come one day after another suspect in the case pleaded guilty.

Amanda Wallace admitted to several charges, including concealment of a human corpse and hindering prosecution. She was not charged with murder.

The Suffolk County district attorney says Wallace told a judge that her housemates, Mackey and Nieves, killed Donna Conneely and that Mackey stabbed Malcolm Brown to death.

Wallace then admitted to helping them clean up the scene and dispose of body parts.

The fourth suspect, Steven Brown, is expected in court tomorrow.
