Parents kill teenage son, set home on fire to cover up crime: New York police

Not-guilty pleas were entered on their behalf. The couple is being held without bail.
Officials say a fire was reported around 1:15 a.m. March 1 at the family's home, 55 miles (88 kilometers) southeast of Syracuse. The couple's son, 16-year-old Jeffrey Franklin, was found dead inside.
