WALLACE — Majorjon Kaylor pleaded guilty Monday to four counts of second-degree murder during a change of plea hearing at Shoshone County Courthouse.

Kaylor pleaded not guilty in September to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. The charges stemmed from a quadruple homicide that took place in Kellogg on June 1. He was accused of killing Kenneth Guardipee, 65, Kenna Guardipee, 41, Devin Smith, 18, and Aiken Smith, 16.

Last month, District Judge Barbara Duggan ordered that the matter go to mediation after both the prosecution and Kaylor’s defense agreed that it would be in the best interests of “justice and judicial efficiency” that the case attempt to seek a resolution outside the courtroom.
