WALTERBORO, S.C. (WCBD) – A man accused in the deaths of several family members in the Green Pond community earlier this month now faces a slew of additional charges including murder, kidnapping, and arson.

He also faces a charge of first-degree arson for the fire which resulted in the death of 101-year-old Maggie Magwood, according to Colleton County Sheriff Buddy Hill and 14th Circuit Solicitor Duffie Stone.

Manigo was previously charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder earlier in the month.

Additionally, officials say Manigo also faces several charges including two counts of criminal sexual conduct, two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of kidnapping, six counts of possession of a deadly weapon in the commission of a violent crime, and one count of incest.
