MURFREESBORO — The trial of an Arkansas man accused of fatally shooting his estranged wife, mother-in-law and niece has been set for next month.
The Texarkana Gazette reports Timothy Hill of Delight is charged with capital murder in their deaths. His trial is scheduled for Nov. 20.
According to an affidavit, Hill told investigators that his wife, Dana, was coming to retrieve his two boys from a home near Murfreesboro. It says the couple was going through a divorce.
The affidavit states that while Dana was inside of the home, Hill went outside to a car his mother-in-law and niece were in and opened fire with his rifle, killing them.
Police say Hill was angry with his mother-in-law because he believed she was trying to turn his two boys against him.
A message seeking comment from Hill's attorney was left Monday.
