Suspect indicted in Ore. health worker killing
Friday, May 25, 2012
ST. HELENS, Ore. (AP) -- A grand jury has handed up a murder indictment against a man released from the Oregon state mental hospital and accused of killing a woman making a routine medicine delivery to his apartment.
The district attorney's office in Columbia County announced the indictment Friday. It was dated Thursday.
The 30-year-old suspect, Brent Redd, remained in the hospital with a neck wound. Authorities say he won't appear in court until he's released.
He's accused of stabbing Jennifer Warren, who was filling in Sunday on a weekend shift for another worker.
Redd pleaded guilty except for insanity in 2007 when he was accused of trying to kill his mother. In 2009 a review board found him too dangerous for release to a community corrections program, but in the next year approved it.
