Single trial set for alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer in New York

Rex Heuermann is charged with killing and dismembering seven women on Long Island

Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann will face a single trial for all seven alleged killings, a judge in Long Island, New York, ruled on Tuesday.

Heuermann's trial, which had originally been scheduled for August, was delayed after he was charged with two new alleged killings in the case - and after his defense lawyers' decision to again challenge the admissibility of advanced nuclear DNA evidence.
