Court Update For Man Charged In Fatal Church Stabbing
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) -- A judge in Frederick is getting an update on the mental health of a northern Virginia man accused of fatally stabbing a South Korean visitor at a rural religious retreat last summer.
The status hearing for 30-year-old Song Su Kim of Falls Church, Virginia, is set for Wednesday afternoon.
The court ordered a mental health evaluation in September after Kim entered a plea of not criminally responsible. The examination could determine if Kim had a mental disorder that made him unable to appreciate the criminality of his conduct or act within the requirements of the law.
He's charged with first-degree murder in the death of 63-year-old Chung Hwan Park of Suwon, South Korea, and attempted first-degree murder in the stabbing of Park's wife Ae Suk Ko.
