Jason Corbett murder accused seek to have trial transferred

The US father and daughter accused of murdering her Irish husband made an attempt to have their trial moved to another court, claiming media attention and other issues have denied them the right to a fair trial.

Jason Corbett, aged 39, was found dead in the early hours of August 2, 2015, in the home he shared with his wife Molly Martens, aged 33, in Panther Creek, Wallburg, North Carolina.

Ms Martens’ father, Thomas Martens, 67, has also been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter.
