FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) – The capital murder trial for Rico Cohn has been rescheduled to begin this summer.
Cohn, accused of the 2006 death of NWACC student Nina Ingram, was scheduled to be in court Monday (Feb. 20) for the start of his jury trial, but that date as been pushed back to Aug. 12, court officials said.
Ingram was found strangled to death in her Fayetteville apartment in April 2006. Cohn is charged with capital murder, accused of strangling the 21 year old to death.
Police said Ingram’s brothers found her body after crawling through an unlocked window into her home. Authorities said the brothers went to her apartment to check on Ingram after the family couldn’t reach her by phone.
Her mother, Judy, sometimes traveled to Fayetteville from her home in Dallas to meet with authorities on the case.
Cohn was arrested six years after the killing and pleaded not guilty.
Ingram was a business student at NorthWest Arkansas Community College at the time of her death.
