The preliminary hearing for Eric Kweder, 34, will begin at 2 p.m. Monday, according to Fairfax County court records. Kweder was arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder in November after FCPD received a report of a suspicious death on Hydrangea Drive in November.

According to police, the victim — 32-year-old Andy Lun Yun — was struck with a blunt object. Hours after receiving the report, police found Kweder about five miles from the crime scene after a police chase.

Whether Yun and Kweder were involved in a confrontation or disagreement before the incident hasn't been revealed. Public Information Officer Bud Walker recently said in an email that many of the details leading up to the incident should be revealed during the hearing on Monday.
