The man accused of killing a Trevi waiter near Caesars Palace was indicted this week on charges of murder with a deadly weapon and robbery with a deadly weapon.

A Clark County Grand Jury on Thursday returned an indictment against Bryan Hall, 28, in the slaying of Brad Flamm.

Flamm, 27, was found near the hotel-casino's loading docks on May 11. The body was brutally beaten and was nearly decapitated by stab wounds, authorities said.

Hall and the victim had known each other but the motive for the slaying is still unclear.

Hall is scheduled to appear in court on June 4.
