Teen Accused Of Killing Grandparents In Court

An Iowa teenager accused of killing his grandparents at their home has been formally charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Sweet made his initial court appearance Tuesday. He's charged in the deaths of Richard and Janet Sweet. Their bodies were found Sunday afternoon when relatives arrived for a Mother's Day gathering.

The judge ordered that Sweet's bond remain at $1 million and
scheduled a preliminary hearing for May 25.

Sweet was arrested Monday night in Cedar Rapids.
