BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A Las Vegas man has pleaded not guilty to charges of helping arrange the 2018 kidnapping and murder of a Vermont man that grew out of a financial dispute. Thirty-five-year-old Berk Eratay is the third of four men to be arraigned in the crime. He and Serhat Gumrukcu, the co-founder of a Los Angeles-based biotechnology company, were arrested in May on charges of conspiring to use interstate commerce facilities in the commission of the murder-for-hire that resulted in the death of Gregory Davis of Danville, Vermont. A Colorado man charged with kidnapping in the case has also pleaded not guilty. A Nevada man charged with helping to arrange the killing pleaded guilty last week.
