Local Man Found Incompetent To Stand Trial For Murder

The Columbus man accused of fatally stabbing a woman in a Parsons Avenue residence last May has been found incompetent to stand trial. 

A judge has ordered 28-year-old Christopher Martin be committed to a state psychiatric hospital. The goal is to improve Martin's condition enough so that he can stand trial. Martin has been charged with kidnapping and killing 30-year-old Erika Daniels.  Her death was Columbus' 38th homicide of the year. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
