Moberly

A suspect in a murder case in Moberly, Missouri, has had their court hearing postponed. Local outlet KOMU 8 reported the delay, but provided no details on the suspect's identity, the reason for the postponement, or a new hearing date. Residents are following the case as it moves through the local justice system.

A Missouri judge is considering a request to move the murder trial of a Moberly suspect out of Randolph County.
