The court date for a Eunice man accused of murder has been pushed back to December.
Robert Heard will now enter his plea in a St. Landry Parish courtroom on December 3.
Heard is accused of stabbing and killing his wife, Demetra Doyle Heard, last September. Police say the couple had been married for only two months before the alleged incident occurred.
Police say Heard has a long criminal history, including previous murder and attempted murder convictions in California and Louisiana.
