FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A woman accused in the killings of her grandparents will remain behind bars.
Jalisa Hill was denied bond during Friday’s court appearance.
The 38-year-old was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Police said she’s one of two people accused of killing her grandparents, Major and Claudette Melvin, inside their Fort Lauderdale home in March.
Maurice Newson, Hill’s ex-boyfriend, was arrested in connection to their deaths last month.
Police said they arrested Hill because “it is believed she worked in conjunction with Maurice Newson to murder her grandparents.”
