GERING, Neb. (AP) - A trial is scheduled to begin Monday with jury selection for an Alliance man accused of stabbing to death his brother in Scottsbluff.

Forty-one-year-old William Reed is charged with killing 42-year-old Christopher Reed on April 22 last year at Christopher’s home. William Reed has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder and use of a deadly weapon.

Court documents say William Reed twice told officers he’d stabbed his brother. A knife found at the scene was seized as evidence.
