Bond Denied for Brown in Mercer County Murder Case
Former Kegley resident Sander Eugene Brown 37 was bound over to the Mercer County grand jury for the 1988 murder of Ruth A. Richmond at Richmond's Antiques in Princeton. Judge Frazier denied bond, noting Brown already serves a 10 year robbery sentence, and Brown admitted the stabbing, with police saying there was little struggle. He was remanded after waiving a preliminary hearing and returned to Huttonsville State Prison. Police, prosecutors, and public defender represented Brown at the arraignment.
