Eric Kweder to Be Reviewed for Incompetence

Kweder's appearance was waived during his preliminary hearing Monday.

Eric Kweder's presence was waived during his preliminary hearing Monday afternoon, due to a behaviorial issue while in custody. During the hearing, Kweder was described as being "combative" and "acting out."

Kweder was represented by a public defender who filed a motion for review of incompetence or his present mental state. A judge granted the motion and the case will be continued at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 18 to review Kweder's progress.

Kweder was arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder Friday, Nov. 30 after FCPD received a report of a suspicious death on Hydrangea Drive in Franconia. The victim — 32-year-old Andy Lun Yun — was struck with a blunt object, according to police. Hours after receiving the report, police found Kweder about five miles from the crime scene after a police chase.
