BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A Maine man charged with murder in the death of his wife is expected to stand trial in about a year.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys have agreed to begin the trial of Frederick Allen Jr., 40, of Newport on Feb. 22, 2021. He was charged with murder after police in January found the body of his wife, Anielka Allen, 37, in the home the couple shared with their children.
Frederick Allen Jr. has not entered a plea in the case.
Anielka Allen was close to graduating from Beal College’s medical assisting program when she died, the Morning Sentinel reported.
The Allens had been married since 2000 and had made a joint statement of irreconcilable differences in December 2019. However, Anielka Allen later dismissed the divorce in a handwritten statement.
