THE man accused of the quadruple murder of a Tennessee family has made his first appearance in court on Thursday.

Drummond was captured on Tuesday after he had been on the run since July 29, when the bodies of James Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15, were found in a forest.
A seven-month-old baby girl who is related to the victims was found abandoned in front of a house in West Tennessee, a county away from where the bodies were discovered.
Drummond is a convicted felon with alleged ties to a violent street gang who was dating Rose’s sister, police said.
He was out on bail on an attempted murder charge at the time of the quadruple murders after serving 13 years in a cushy prison cell.
The motive in the killings is still a mystery, as well as the reason for Drummond allegedly leaving the baby in a random driveway.
