MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Bond has been set at $1 million cash for a Minot man accused of murder.
Duell Clifton, 25, is charged in district court with felony murder and tampering with evidence in the death of 22-year-old Alytreus Clifton. Authorities have not identified the relationship between the Cliftons, but the Minot Daily News reports there is a 2018 marriage record for the two.
Minot police say they received a request to do a welfare check at a southeast Minot residence June 8. Their investigation led to a residence in Faith, South Dakota where the victim was found dead.
Duell Clifton was arrested in South Dakota and was returned to North Dakota to face the charges against him.
Defense attorney Ashley Gulke said in court Wednesday that Clifton does not object to remaining in custody and would not contest the high $1 million bond for now.
The online North Dakota courts website shows a motion was filed Wednesday to order Clifton committed for a psychological evaluation and determination of criminal responsibility.
