BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ Two California men already charged with
kidnapping are now facing murder charges in the April slaying of a
Meridian man.

Ada County prosecutors filed first-degree murder charges Friday
against John Joseph Green, 28, and Stanley Jackson Hahn, 44. Both
men are from Bakersfield, Calif., and are accused of working with
another woman, Karen Miller, in the April 6 death of Doug Halpin.

Green and Hahn are being held in the Ada County Jail and
scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

Detectives say they found Halpin at Miller's Meridian home with
his hands and feet bound and bludgeoned to death.

So far, Miller has only been charged with kidnapping in the
case.
