Entwistle Trial Postponed Until January

CAMBRIDGE (AP) ― The trial of the British man charged with killing his wife and baby in their Hopkinton home has been postponed until January.

Neil Entwistle is accused of fatally shooting his wife, Rachel, and 9-month-old daughter, Lillian, in January 2006.

His trial was scheduled to begin October 1st in Middlesex Superior Court.

But Entwistle's defense attorneys say they need more time to analyze the results of DNA and other scientific testing done by the state police crime lab.

The lab has come under fire in recent months for having a backlog of thousands of untested samples from crime scenes.

Entwistle's lawyers have said may seek to have the Entwistle samples retested by a private lab.

Police say Entwistle's DNA was found on the handle of the handgun used to kill his wife and daughter.

The new trial date is January 28th.
