Houston Man Robert Kelly Charged in Baseball Bat Slaying of Daughter
A psychologist faces a first-degree murder charge in the baseball bat beating death of his 20-year-old daughter as she slept in his Oakland County home.
Robert Kelly appeared Friday for a competency hearing in Rochester Hills District Court. Attempted murder charges were upgraded at the hearing, and it was determined he was competent to stand trial.
Megan Roberts was in a coma and died Wednesday from her injuries.
Authorities say she was asleep at the start of the May 9 attack in Kelly's home in Oxford, 30 miles northwest of Detroit.
A preliminary examination is scheduled for Aug. 4. The 52-year-old Kelly is being held in the Oakland County jail without bond.
