LEWISTON, ID – A Lewiston woman pleaded not guilty during her arraignment this week to the first-degree murder of her father earlier this year.
54-year-old Kimberly Morrison is accused of suffocating and poisoning Kenneth Morrison in early January.
Kimberly Morrison is charged along with her 81-year-old mother Kay Morrison, the ex-wife of Kenneth Morrison. According to the probable cause affidavit, an investigation allegedly showed the two played a part in drugging, suffocating and burning the body of the 87-year-old victim. The Morrisons were arrested following a search warrant at their home Aug. 16 at Harvest Road in Lewiston.
Kimberly Morrison’s trial could potentially be held sometime in April. If convicted, the maximum sentence is life in prison.
Kay Morrison’s next court appearance is scheduled for tomorrow (Fri).
