February trial set for man accused of killing grandmother

MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) - A February trial has been scheduled for a 19-year-old Muscatine man accused of stabbing to death his grandmother.

Muscatine County court documents say Darian Lensgraf pleaded not guilty Friday to first-degree murder. He’s accused of killing 66-year-old Diana Lensgraf at her home early on Dec. 12.

Authorities say police found the young man at a convenience store after the store clerk called to report a man holding a bloody knife in the store.

Darian Lensgraf’s trial is set to begin Feb. 11.
