Police were contacted and upon arrival, they found the lifeless bodies of Wolfe and Fergusson down a precipice.
An investigation was launched after which the suspects were held and subsequently charged for the offences.
The seven accused, aged 21 to 34, appeared before Magistrate Joanne Connor at the Scarborough Magistrates’ Virtual First Court on Monday and the matters were postponed to September 1.
