Preliminary Hearing Postponed For Man Accused Of Beating Samantha Maag To Death Inside Old City Office Building
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A preliminary hearing was postponed Monday for the Philadelphia man accused of bludgeoning a 31-year-old receptionist with a pipe. The defense of Jeffrey Stepien, 48, requested a continuance so he could undergo a mental health check.
He is accused of killing Samantha Maag in an Old City office building on Jan. 19.
Authorities said Stepien beat her to death, adding that officers found him carrying a bag with two bloodied pipes inside.
A status hearing is set for March 7.
