No bond for two men accused in Darien murders

The two west suburban men charged with the murder of three members of a Darien family last week were ordered held without bond in DuPage County Bond Court today as prosecutors detailed grisly new details about the killings. Jacob Nodarse, 23, of Countryside, and Johnny Borizov, 28, of Willow Springs, who hatched the scheme together, appeared at separate hearings before DuPage County Circuit Judge Terence M. Sheen. Borizov looked around at the crowd of reporters and broke into a small smile. Nodarse never looked around and did not show any emotion as Assistant DuPage County State's Atty. Jeffrey Muntz detailed the charges. Borizov, who prosecutors say badgered Nodarse into committing the crime, is charged with first-degree murder, solicitation of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Nodarse, the alleged gunman, is charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The two are accused of conspiring to kill members of the Kramer family of Darien. Jeffrey Kramer, 50, his wife Lori, 48, and his son Michael, 20, were shot to death. But their primary target, Angela Kramer, escaped by hiding in a closet. Her phone call brought police to the scene early Tuesday morning. Borizov was involved in a custody fight with Angela, 25, over their 13-month-old son Nicholas. "Johnny and Angela had a heated custody battle and Johnny had a strong dislike for the Kramer family," he said. Muntz said the scheme between Nodarse and Borizov was discussed at a meeting on Feb. 25 -- the same day Nodarse bought a gun used in the shootings and quit his job at a Westmont auto dealer, Muntz said. There is no evidence Borizov paid Nodarse to commit the March 2 killings, but Nodarse told police he would do anything for Borizov, Muntz said in court.
