LEESBURG, Va. (AP) - A man indicted for the 2018 murders of a Virginia woman and her son has made an initial court appearance.
WTOP reports 38-year-old Bryan Kuang-Ming Welsh was indicted on two counts each of first-degree murder and use of a gun in the commission of a felony in the deaths of Mala Manwani and her adult son, Rishi Manwani, who were found in their home in Aldie on Jan. 31, 2018.
Welsh appeared in court on Monday by video from the Loudoun County detention center.
Family members told the judge they were in the process of retaining attorney Thomas Walsh, who represented Welsh last year. Welsh was initially charged with the murders before prosecutors dropped the charges after forensic testing showed bullets recovered from the Manwanis’ bodies didn’t match Welsh’s handgun.
