MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - A January trial has been scheduled for a man accused of killing two people and trying to kill another in Mason City.
Court documents say 30-year-old Peter Veal, of Lake Mills, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. His trial is set to begin Jan. 24.
Officers sent to a home to check on a shooting report around 2:30 a.m. Nov. 17 found the bodies of 37-year-old Caleb Christensen and 54-year-old Melinda Kavars. Autopsies showed Christensen died from several “sharp-force” injuries and Kavars died from a gunshot wound to her neck and chest.
