Two teenagers are being tried as adults in an Athens County murder case and are expected back in a courtroom Tuesday afternoon.

17-year-olds Abdifatah Abdi and Mahat Osman are being tried as adults for the February murder according to Athens County prosecutor Dave Warren.

The incident happened at a New Marshfield home on February 15th when officials say Donnie Putnam of Dexter, Ohio was shot and killed.

Yesterday Abdi and Osman were indicted by the Athens County grand jury for 2 counts of aggravated robbery and one count of murder.

Officials say they will be arraigned on the charges Tuesday afternoon. Two additional suspects, Phillip Boler and Hamda Jama, are facing murder and robbery charges for the incident as well.
