A Lewiston woman charged with the first-degree murder of her husband has been found competent to stand trial.
83-year-old Kay Morrison had a competency evaluation hearing Friday at the Nez Perce County Courthouse and was found to be competent to stand trial.
Morrison, along with her daughter Kimberly Morrison, were charged with the death of Kenneth Morrison, who is their ex-husband and father. An investigation allegedly showed the two played a part in the drugging, suffocating and burning the body of the 87-year-old man in their home in Lewiston.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 3.
Kimberly Morrison pleaded guilty to felony voluntary manslaughter and destruction of evidence and is scheduled for sentencing Sept. 14.
