Suspect To Face Trial

The suspect accused of shooting a fellow group home resident in Branch County will stand trial. 50-year old Kenneth Kalasz was ruled competent Tuesday to face an open-murder charge in the death of 55-year old Donald Miller, who was shot and killed February 10th. Police arrested Kalasz at the scene, the Country Meadows foster care facility near Reading. Investigators said he admitted shooting Miller, saying he didn’t like him. A preliminary examination is scheduled for June 18th.
