Audra Jornov reports in the Register Star about Shafiqul Islam, 21, suspect in the November death of Lois Decker, 73, of Hillsdale. Islam appeared in Columbia County Court before Judge Jonathan Nichols Tuesday, and entered a plea of "not guilty" to a charge of second-degree murder, and to three charges of criminal possession of stolen property. Islam was represented by Hudson attorney Michael C. Howard. "Islam sat almost motionless, in a stare, never looking around the room, only directly ahead of him," according to Jornov. District Attorney Paul Czajka appeared and said the matter was ready for trial. The pretrial hearing in the matter will be held June 8. Jury selection begins July 16.
