GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Trial is scheduled to start Feb. 8 for a rural Manvel man accused of killing his brother in a dispute over property.

The Grand Forks Herald reports that a separate trial on theft charges against 45-year-old Rodney Chisholm is to begin Jan. 11.

Chisholm has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge and five felony theft counts linked to stolen farm equipment that authorities say they found in his possession.

Chisholm is accused of killing his 59-year-old brother, Donald, in late June by either hitting him in the head with a metal pipe, strangling him or a combination of the two. Chisholm says he acted in self-defense.
