KIMBALL, Neb. (AP) — Sentencing is scheduled next month for a Wyoming man who again has been convicted of killing a former roommate in Nebraska.

Online court records say 43-year-old Vencil Ash III was found guilty earlier this week of murdering Ryan Guitron, of Fort Collins, Colorado, in 2003. Guitron’s remains were found in 2010 at an abandoned farm near Bushnell in western Nebraska.

Ash was first convicted in July 2012, but the Nebraska Supreme Court later ordered a new trial. The high court said the trial court erred in denying Ash’s request to postpone the trial, saying that Ash was not given fair notice of the prosecutor’s deal with his wife to testify against him.

Ash, originally from Cheyenne, Wyoming, is scheduled to be sentenced on March 24 in Kimball County District Court.
