BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - A Montana man accused of killing his mother with a kitchen knife pleaded not guilty to deliberate homicide Wednesday and had his bail set at $1 million.
Beau Daniel Papin, 20, is accused of killing his mother at her apartment in Billings on Monday. A police statement had said they lived together, but Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney Arielle Dean said Papin had been homeless and staying on people’s couches, the Billings Gazette reported.
Public defender Natasha Hammack asked that bond be set at $500,000 because Papin could not afford any amount of bail and would likely remain behind bars.
