Robert Keith Field |
A Beaverdam man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the Monday morning slaying of a Spotsylvania man in his home.
Robert Keith Field, 39, of 12406 New Market Mill Road in Hanover is accused of killing 45-year-old Kenneth Wayne Dillard.
Dillard was shot in the head about 6:15 a.m. while standing in his kitchen at 2131 Butler Road in Spotsyl vania. Police believe the shot was fired from Dillard’s driveway and went through a window.
Police spent most of Monday looking for Field, who turned himself into detectives Monday night.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Liz Scott said the case is still being heavily investigated, but police believe the slaying had to do with the fact that Dillard has been dating Field’s wife for the past few months.
Field was arraigned this morning in Spotsylvania General District Court and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 13 to name his attorney.
He is being held without bond in the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
Dillard also has a Beaverdam address. Parts of Beaverdam are in Spotsylvania and Hanover counties.
