FORT LAUDERDALE – A judge has denied bond for a woman charged in the murders of her own grandparents .
Claudette and Major Melvin, both in their 80s, were shot to death back in March.
Jalisa Hill will remain in jail after police said she planned and orchestrated the murder of her grandparents.
Hill was living with her grandparents in the same home where they were found dead.
CBS News Miami spoke with Hill’s uncle, who said this has ripped their family apart.
“At the end of the day, she’s still my niece, but if she did something like that and allowed somebody to come in the house and kill my parents, then that’s where it became a problem,” said Dennis Parker.
Hill appeared before a Broward judge on Friday afternoon. She has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Fort Lauderdale police said she was working with her ex-boyfriend Maurice Newson to kill her 87-year-old grandmother Claudette Melvin and 89-year-old grandfather, Major Melvin, back on March 22.
