Accused Slayer Freed Earlier This Year
NORFOLK AP The man charged in the Christmas Eve slaying of 21 year old Terri Lynn Fry in Suffolk had been released earlier this year on a 15000 bond while awaiting sentencing on abduction and assault convictions. A Portsmouth psychiatrist certified he is not a menace to society and can be treated as an outpatient. Kelly Poss 22 is held without bond at the city jail as a murder case proceeds. The Ramada Inn manager declined comment on his hiring and Miss Fry's body was found at the motel after being bound and stabbed nearly a hundred times.
