LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man accused of killing two Vietnamese tour leaders at a Las Vegas Strip casino-hotel made court appearances on that case and two others following his return in custody to Nevada from California.
Julius Trotter told a judge on Tuesday that he's trying to hire a lawyer for the double-murder case, and the judge gave him until Oct. 4 to do so.
Trotter is accused of stabbing Sang Boi Nghia and Khuong Le Ba Nguyen to death before their bodies were found June 1 in a room at the Circus Circus hotel.
Trotter wasn't asked to enter pleas pending a preliminary hearing of evidence in the slayings. He remains jailed without bail.
He also made initial appearances on separate charges of armed robbery, burglary with a weapon and felony lewdness.
