DULUTH, Minn. – Bail is set at $1 million for an Iron Range man accused of killing a couple on Saturday in Babbitt.
St. Louis County prosecutors have charged 54-year-old Roger Beldo with 2nd degree murder in the deaths of 78-year-old Clifford Johnson and 79-year-old Christine Johnson.
The criminal complaint says Beldo had been staying in the Johnson’s home and confessed several times to the killings. The charges say Beldo told investigators he used a tire iron and hammer to kill the couple and then drove their car to Duluth where he was arrested.
