Three Colorado men have been ordered to stand trial on charges of murder, robbery and arson in the stabbing deaths of five people in a Denver bar.

The judge ordered the men to be held without bail. The ruling came Friday.

Twenty-two-year old Dexter Lewis, 27-year-old Joseph Hill and 24-year-old Lynell Jonathan Hill are charged in the October slayings at Fero's Bar & Grill.

The Hills are brothers.

The robbery netted $170. A federal agent testified that an informant told him Lynell Hill needed money to cover costs in an unrelated court case.

The victims were 63-year-old Young Suk Fero, 21-year-old Daria M. Pohl, 44-year-old Kellene Fallon, 29-year-old Ross Richter and 45-year-old Tereasa Beesley.

Richter was from Overland Park, Kan. The others were from the Denver area.
