COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — An October trial is scheduled for a Columbus woman accused of stabbing her brother.
20-year-old Alicia Martinez has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and a weapons charge. Her trial is set to begin Oct. 11.
Court documents say 33-year-old Rogelio Barrios told officers that when he awoke in his bedroom during the stabbing July 11, he found his sister standing by his bed, holding an 8-inch boning knife. The documents say he was stabbed six times, suffering wounds to his chest, arms, and a hand.
Police say Martinez doesn’t live at Barrios’ home.
