A couple accused of killing a Martin County family then setting their house on fire last month entered a not guilty plea in court Thursday.
Kentucky State Police say Jack Smith and Amanda Bowen shot and stabbed Cainie Johnson Junior, his wife Tina Goble, and Tina’s grandchild 8-year-old Trinity Maynard on Aug. 16.
Police say they then set the family’s home on fire.

According to an arrest warrant, Bowen allegedly worked with Smith to kill all three by shooting them with a gun and stabbing them with a knife after robbing Tina Goble of medication and jewelry.
The child’s father and Tina Goble’s son, Tim Goble, said Jack Smith was a family acquaintance.
Court officials confirm Amanda Bowen is being moved to the Floyd County Detention Center from the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center because officials do not want her to have any contact with Jack Smith.
