ZEARING, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa man accused of killing his wife will go to trial in June.
WHO-TV reports that 70-year-old Gary Pillman was previously declared incompetent to stand trial, but that ruling was reversed after psychiatric treatment.
Pillman has pleaded not guilty.
Betty Pillman was found dead outside the couple’s home in Zearing in November 2019. She had been stabbed.
Court documents say Gary Pillman went to a neighbor and admitted to the killing, saying he also tried to kill himself.
The bench trial is scheduled for June 2.
