Competency hearing set in triple killing

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut man convicted of killing two adults and a 9-year-old girl in Bridgeport is returning to court for a hearing on whether he's competent for the penalty phase of his trial.

Richard Roszkowski is due in Bridgeport Superior Court Wednesday afternoon. He's facing the possibility of the death penalty for the 2006 shooting deaths of 39-year-old Holly Flannery, her daughter Kylie and 38-year-old Thomas Gaudet.

A jury condemned him to death in 2009, but the verdict was overturned because the judge made a mistake during jury instructions. A new penalty phase was ordered.

Roszkowski was declared incompetent for the penalty phase. The hearing is on whether he is now competent after receiving treatment.

Witnesses testified Roszkowski believed Gaudet was having an affair with Flannery, who was Roszkowski's ex-girlfriend.
