Jurors in the trial of a man accused of bludgeoning to death a 23-year-old University of Colorado student heard testimony from two women who said he told a story similar to how the victim died.

Thirty-nine-year-old Diego Olmos Alcalde is charged with first-degree murder, sexual assault and kidnapping in the December 1997 death of Susannah Chase of Stamford, Conn.

Ona Bayers and Sonci Francis testified Wednesday that Olmos Alcalde spoke at the time of bludgeoning a man to death with a baseball bat outside a bar. That's how Chase died.

Bayers is Olmos Alcalde's half-sister, and Francis is an ex-girlfriend of the defendant.
