His trial is tentatively set for the week of Dec. 19. Walter’s bail remains set at $1 million.

On Oct 10, police found Jeremiah Roke with multiple stab wounds to the chest. Advanced life support was administered before Emergency Medical Services transported him to the hospital where he died.

Roke’s aunt suffered multiple stab wounds to the back. She was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Walter lived with Roke, Roke’s aunt and other relatives at a Lime Street apartment.

A relative had described Walter as a hanai relative.

    Anyone who lives on School Street knows exactly how the Soles and Tongans deal with the cockroaches on that turf. My guess is this one won’t last very long in OCCC gen-pop. Save tax dollars AND provide inmate entertainment!
