A suburban Detroit judge has set bail that could lead to the release of a man charged with killing his parents nearly three years ago.

Ronald Jabalee Jr. has been in the Macomb County jail without bond since Friday when a grand jury charged him with first-degree murder.

He's accused of fatally stabbing Ronald and Christine Jabalee in their New Baltimore garage in 2006.

Macomb County Circuit Judge Richard Caretti set bond at $1 million Tuesday after an appeal by defense lawyer Stephen Rabaut. Jabalee, the owner of a Detroit meat market, must wear an electronic tether to track his whereabouts.

One of the victims wrote a message in blood on the garage floor.

Investigators don't know what it means.
