(Linn County, IA) -- Three brothers accused of the death of a fourth brother will be tried together in Linn County.

Christian, Pierre, and Azane Baseme face involuntary manslaughter, assault, and false imprisonment charges.

Investigators say the three brothers in their 20s tied their 18-year-old brother Ezekiel to a bed last November and left him to die of dehydration and starvation.

The brothers claim they restrained him during a violent schizophrenic episode he was having.
