GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (AP) – A 39-year-old west Michigan man is expected to go on trial this week in the slayings of a Grand Haven jewelry store owner and a customer.
WGHN-AM reports jury selection is to start Tuesday in Ottawa County circuit court.
Dimitri Anderson of Muskegon Heights and his 42-year-old brother, Darick, each have pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and armed robbery in the July 2 shooting deaths of 61-year-old Robert Karell and 77-year-old Louis Paparella.
Karell owned R.K. Jewelers in downtown Grand Haven.
Darick Anderson’s trial is to begin Feb. 24. They are being tried separately.
The Associated Press left messages Monday for Dimitri Anderson’s attorney, Floyd Farmer, and Robert Hamilton, Darick Anderson’s lawyer.
