Trial date moved for Kentucky man accused of killing toddler

GLASGOW, Ky. (AP) — A man accused of killing a 2-year-old girl in Barren County has had his trial moved to the end of the year.

Media outlets report that a judge on Monday set a Dec. 6 trial date in the case of 26-year-old Anthony Dale Barbour, who is facing murder and other charges in connection with the death of Laynee Wallace last year. The trial date had earlier been set for April.

Wallace’s body was found inside a well in Barren County on May 25, a week after she disappeared.

Barbour is also charged with tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse.

Ken Garrett, Barbour’s attorney, filed a motion for a speedy trial on Friday, prompting the judge to order DNA analysis of evidence to be completed by July 1.
