Three men accused of fatally shooting two women in a botched murder-for-hire plot in Montegut have been indicted on murder charges.
A Terrebonne Parish grand jury found enough evidence Wednesday to charge Beaux Cormier, 35, of Kaplan, 25-year-old Carencro resident Andrew Eskin and Dalvin Wilson, 22, of Eunice, with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder.
An indictment does not presume guilt or innocence but indicates the grand jury found prosecutors presented enough evidence to warrant a trial on the charges.
The three men appeared in court Thursday by video conference from the Terrebonne Parish jail and each pleaded not guilty to the charges.
