St. Louis – Two men accused of killing a St. Louis County attorney whose body was found in Illinois have been indicted.

On Sunday, a St. Louis grand jury indicted 41-year-old Cleophus King of St. Louis and 20-year-old Ronald Johnson of Ferguson.

Both face charges of first-degree murder, robbery and armed criminal action.

The body of 38-year-old Luke Meiners of University City was found last month in a wooded area in Venice, Ill.

Investigators say Meiners was killed at King's home before the body was moved.

The suspects were initially charged soon after Meiners' body was found.
