TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey man has pleaded not guilty in the slaying of a retired New York City firefighter.

A lawyer for Conrad Sipa of Colts Neck entered the plea on Monday to first-degree murder, weapons, hindering prosecution and evidence tampering charges.

Prosecutors allege the 52-year-old used a knife, golf club and lamp to fatally beat and slash 60-year-old of Richard Doody Jr. in 2015. Doody’s body was found in his Barnegat Light home.
