15 year old Edward Bertrand was
killed two years ago in the garage of a
home on Spruce Street.

19 year old Zach Linkous is
charged with first degree murder.

On Monday we talked with his

She says the shooting was an

about how a Halifax woman was
electrocuted on railroad property in
Martinsville last week.

City police say Shelby and James
Reagan were stealing copper wire and
selling it. One of them would climb a

investigators say, while the other
would roll it up.

Lieutenant G-C Dove of the
Martinsville P-D says he believes
"Shelby Reagan may have got hold of a
live wire," and that's how she died.

Dove says the line carries 480

JAMES Reagan has been charged with
