Jesse Matthew, Jr.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) _ A man who has been charged with killing two college students in Virginia is set to appear in court. A pretrial hearing for Jesse LeRoy Matthew Jr. is expected to be held on Monday. Matthew has been charged with capital murder in the September 2014 disappearance and death of 18-year-old University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, whose remains were found about five weeks after she disappeared. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Matthew also faces first-degree murder charges in the 2009 death of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington. Matthew is serving a life prison term for a 2005 attempted murder and sexual assault in northern Virginia. At a hearing last month, a judge approved the hiring of a mental health expert to examine Matthew before his trial.
