MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (WOOD) - John White, the pastor accused of brutally killing a 24-year-old mother and dumping her body, has been found competent to stand trial, MLive.com reports.
White, 55, has confessed to killing 24-year-old Rebekah Gay in her mobile home near Mount Pleasant as her 3-year-old son was in another room on Halloween. He told police he had fantasized for weeks about killing her and having sex with her body.
His preliminary exam -- to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial -- is scheduled for Jan. 10.
White spent two years in prison for stabbing a teenage girl when he was 22. He later served more prison time for an involuntary manslaughter conviction in the 1990s.
