The attorney general for the British Virgin Islands indicted four Americans for murder Friday in the slaying of a Connecticut artist.

The four are accused in the death of Lois Livingston McMillen, 34, an artist from Middlebury, Conn., who was found dead Jan. 15 on the shore of Tortola. Authorities said she had drowned but appeared to have been in a struggle.

Investment broker William Labrador, 36, of Southampton, N.Y.; law student Michael Spicer, 36, of Albemarle County, Va.; Evan George, 23, a construction worker from Washington; and book publisher Alexander Benedetto, 35, of New York City were formally indicted by Atty. Gen. Cherno Jallow.

McMillen had been staying in a villa owned by her family on Tortola and had long known Spicer, who had a house nearby. George, Labrador and Benedetto were Spicer’s house guests.
