OGDEN, Utah (AP) — It appears the trial of an Ogden man accused of murder will go forward next month as scheduled.

The Standard-Examiner reports that a district judge denied two motions in the case that might have pushed back the trial's start.

Jose Robert Zamora is accused of one count of murder and obstruction of justice.

The 23-year-old Zamora pleaded not guilty to both charges during a preliminary hearing in December and his trial is set to begin on Sept. 17.

Zamora was charged in connection with the death of his 74-year-old neighbor.

The victim's body was found bloodied and beaten in July 2018 behind a restaurant.

Zamora is being held without bail at the Weber County Jail.
