Trial ordered in slaying of man who tried to stop robber

WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — A man has been ordered to stand trial in the slaying of a bystander killed while trying to stop a bank robber in western Pennsylvania almost a decade ago. The (Washington) Observer-Reporter reports that a Washington County judge ruled Friday that prosecutors had enough evidence to try 39-year-old Keith Wilk on charges including homicide and robbery. Forty-six-year-old Vincent Kelley was killed after chasing the robber of a supermarket bank branch in South Strabane Township in 2013. An ex-girlfriend testified that Wilk had told her that he was responsible, and prosecutors said his DNA matched a sample from the robbery. An email was sent to a public defender representing him.
