The Rite Aid Murder: Police say it was an inside job

Do this job for awhile, and you start to gain a certain sense - a kind of radar of sorts - when it comes to some stories.

It wasn't long after I first heard the details of the brutal slaying of the manager of a Rite Aid store in Chester, something about it didn't sound right to me.

I was wondering what the man and woman who police were looking to talk to in the case were doing in the store at that time, and what went wrong.

My antenna went up even more when we learned that both suspects were from Philadelphia.

What took them to the Rite Aid at Ninth and Highland at 10 o'clock at night.

Now we know.

Police believe it was an inside job.

Yesterday they charged Tariq Mahmud and two other men in the murder of store manager Jason Scott McClay. Mahmud was the loss prevention officer at the store. He was fired after the murder. Police believe he set up the robbery with several of his neighbors.

Five people have now been charged in the case.

Rose Quinn has all the details.
