Two Georgia inmates accused of killing two prison guards during an escape from a prison bus last week face charges including murder.

Multiple news outlets report that Donnie Russell Rowe and Ricky Dubose appeared in Putnam County Superior Court on Wednesday. A judge told them they’re charged with two counts of murder and one count each of felony escape and motor vehicle hijacking.

Georgia District Attorney Stephen Bradley has said he will seek the death penalty against Rowe and Dubose, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
