Jury Selection for Trial of Man Accused of Killing 2 People, Burying Their Bodies

Jury selection is about to start in the trial of a northeastern Pennsylvania man charged with killing two people whose bodies were found buried on his property more than a decade ago.

Also Monday, the judge presiding over Hugo Selenski's trial in Luzerne County Court in Wilkes-Barre is expected to rule on pre-trial motions.

The 41-year-old Selenski is charged with killing a pharmacist and his girlfriend in 2002. Their bodies were among the remains of several people found buried in the yard of Selenski's former home in Dallas, Pa. In 2006, he was acquitted of murdering two of the other people.

Selenski, who's currently serving time for a home invasion and robbery, escaped from the county jail using a rope of sheets in 2003 and spent several days at large.
