Grand Jury to Hear Case of Three Pike County Men Charged with Murder

A grand jury will hear the cases against three men charged with the murder of a Virginia man in Pike County.

Christopher Lester was found dead after Kentucky State Police responded January 11 to the shooting incident at Laurel Fork.

The Appalachian News Express reports the three men – Michael Shortridge, Michael Brown and Anthony Browning – are all currently in custody at the Pike County Detention Center with a judge ruling last week they should be bound over to the grand jury for deliberation.
