Circle K murder suspect back in court

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The man accused of fatally stabbing a Yuma man at a convenience store was back in court Wednesday.

27-year-old Angel Witrado is charged with first degree murder. Police say Witrado killed 37-year-old Justin Arviso outside of a Circle K in Yuma last October.

In court, the victim's brother spoke out, saying he believes Witrado is coherent despite Witrado claiming insanity.

Witrado has already been seen by a doctor who deemed him coherent, but will now be seeing a different doctor, paid for by the Public Defender's Office, to be re-evaluated before returning to court early next year.
