A preliminary hearing is scheduled next month for the boyfriend of a woman whose decomposed body was found along a northeastern Pennsylvania streambank earlier this year.
Twenty-eight-year-old Michael Houseweart, of Canton, waived a hearing earlier this month in Bradford County in the death of 32-year-old Michelle Inch of Montoursville.
Police said the victim's body was found March 18 along Schrader Creek, and an autopsy later determined that she bled to death after being shot and stabbed.
Authorities allege that Houseweart killed the victim and disposed of her body, and then he and another man broke into her parents' home, bound them with duct tape and set the house on fire.
Houseweart is to be formally arraigned in county court Oct. 3 and a preliminary hearing is slated Oct. 19.
