HECKETHORN ATTEMPTED MURDER TRIAL DELAYED

Heckethorn attempted murder trial delayed

An Ottumwa man charged with attempted murder has had his trial delayed.  20-year-old Paul Heckethorn is accused of shooting 61-year-old Clifford Collett in August of last year.  Heckethorn’s trial was to have begun in February, but now the trial is scheduled to start in March.  You might remember Heckethorn was convicted of second degree murder last month for the August 2018 death of William Shettlesworth.  Heckethorn will be sentenced in that case in January.
