CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) - Four men charged with first-degree murder in the beating death of a 49-year-old Nampa man have been ordered held without bond.

KIVI-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1TgMdx3 ) that 22-year-old Kelly B. Schneider of Nampa, 21-year-old Kevin R. Tracy of Nampa, 28-year-old Jayson C. Woods of Nampa, and 23-year-old Daniel A. Henkel of Caldwell on Monday were also ordered in 3rd District Court to have no contact with each other.

Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue says Steven E. Nelson had made an arrangement online and believed he was meeting a man on Friday morning for sex but was instead ambushed.

Nelson was found naked and badly beaten wandering a neighborhood by Lake Lowell.

He gave police information about the attack but died later Friday morning at a Boise hospital.
