Illinois man charged in 4 killings ordered to remain in jail pending trial

ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — The northern Illinois man charged with killing four people and injuring seven others by stabbing, beating and driving over them has been denied pretrial release. A judge in the city of Rockford ruled Tuesday that Christian Soto must remain in jail pending trial. The judge scheduled an April 15 arraignment for the 22-year-old. Authorities have said Soto was behind a series of frenzied attacks Wednesday at multiple addresses in a Rockford neighborhood. Authorities have not determined a motive. The Associated Press left a message Tuesday seeking comment from an attorney listed in court records as representing Soto.
