NEW ORLEANS - A man was indicted on four murder charges because he was angry that his grandmother left her house to her children instead of him. Felton Bernard, 34, and Corey Berniard, 25, were indicted Thursday in the Nov. 4 deaths of two of Bernard's uncles, an aunt and her live-in friend. Leon Miskell, 49, and Lionel Miskell, 51, were shot to death in the disputed eastern New Orleans house. Diane Miskell, 52, and John Robinson, 47, were shot hours later in a FEMA trailer blocks away. Leon Miskell identified his nephew as the killer before dying three weeks later, police said. Police said Bernard was raised by his grandmother, Marjorie Miskell, who died in December 2004. The two suspects were arrested Nov. 13 in Houston and booked into Orleans Parish Prison on Jan. 10.
