LEESBURG, Va. (AP) — A man who has been charged with fatally shooting three people is being moved from Loudoun County to Alexandria where three judges are asking to be recused from the case.
Charles Severance was charged last week with the shooting deaths of a sheriff’s wife, a transportation planner and a music teacher. The killings began in 2003.
Severance is being held in Loudoun County, where he was in custody for a weapons charge. WRC-TV (http://bit.ly/1oH946S ) reports he is expected to move to Alexandria on Monday.
Three Alexandria judges have recused themselves from the case. The Virginia Supreme Court will appoint a special judge to hear the case.
Severance faces 10 charges, including capital murder and first-degree murder.
Severance is a former candidate for mayor in Alexandria.
