State Police are back at the home where investigators say the murder of a Cranston man took place.

The mobile crime lab was at the home on Shannon Drive in Warwick Wednesday morning.

Four men were arrested late last month in connection to the murder and dismemberment of 36-year-old Kerri Mello.

Prosecutors said last August, Mello was lured to the home of 61–year–old Albert Barriera by his son, 35–year–old Jamie Barriera and two others, 36–year–old Francisco Concepcion and 39–year–old Greg Bustillo after the younger Barriera suspected Mello stole 30 pound of marijuana and $10,000 in cash from him.

Bustillo plead guilty last Friday to the charge of conspiracy to commit murder for his role in the crime.
