Former Ole Miss student pleads not guilty to murder

OXFORD, Miss. (WCBI) – A former Ole Miss student accused of killing a fellow classmate pled not guilty in court Monday.

Brandon Theesfeld, 22, has been charged with capital murder in the death of Aly Kostial. He was indicted in August, and his attorneys asked the court for a mental evaluation.

CBS affiliate WREG reported that Theesfeld remained silent in an Oxford courtroom when asked if he killed Kostial.

Kostial was found dead, near Sardis Lake, with multiple gunshot wounds in July.
