Manling pleads not guilty again in triple homicide
POMONA - A woman accused of slashing her husband two death with a sword and smothering their two young children as they slept in their Rowland Heights home in 2007 entered a not guilty plea in court Tuesday, officials said.
Manling Tsang Williams, 29, appeared for her second arraignment at Pomona Superior Court, court officials said.
She is due back in court March 5 for a "status hearing," in which prosectors and defense attorneys will meet to determine if they're ready for trial, Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Jane Robison said.
A trial date is scheduled to be set April 15, she added.
She allegedly stabbed her husband, 27-year-old Neal Williams, 97 times with a sword.
The couple's two sons, Devon, 7, and Ian, 3, were smothered to death with a pillow in their beds, prosecutors allege.
According to court records, Manling Williams is being held without bail.
