BANGOR — Prosecutors are hopeful a jury will be selected Thursday in the trial of two men accused of killing three Maine residents whose bodies were found in a burning car in Bangor.

The process of selecting a jury for the murder trials of 36-year-old Randall Daluz and 33-year-old Nicholas Sexton began on Monday, and prosecutors hope the process will be completed Thursday morning.

Daluze and Sexton are charged with three counts of murder and one count of starting a fire.

The victims are 26-year-old Daniel Thomas Borders of Hermon, 24-year-old Nicolle Ashley Lugdon of Eddington, and 28-year-old and Lucas Alan Tuscano of Bradford. The car, tagged with Rhode Island license plates, was found ablaze Aug. 13, 2012, in a Bangor parking lot.
