2:40 p.m.
The Lewis and Clark County justice of the peace set bail at $500,000 for a 21-year-old Helena man who is charged with killing his parents over the weekend.
Kaleb David Taylor made an initial court appearance Wednesday via video on two counts of deliberate homicide in the deaths of 61-year-old David Taylor and 64-year-old Charla Taylor. He also is charged with tampering with evidence.
He did not enter a plea and asked for a public defender.
Prosecutors say Taylor acknowledged beating his adoptive parents on Sunday, stealing jewelry, burning his bloody clothes and getting rid of the murder weapon.
