A man and his pregnant girlfriend who are believed to have killed a man who repeatedly assaulted the woman as a young child, have been indicted on second degree murder charges. 21-year-old Jace Crehan and 18-year-old Brittany Monk, both of Walker, allegedly killed 47-year-old Robert Noce of Zachary before shoving his body in a 55 gallon drum.
