NORWICH – Accused murderer Peter M. Wlasiuk will face a Chenango County jury for a second time when his re-trial begins in March.

On Tuesday, acting County Court Judge Martin E. Smith scheduled Wlasiuk’s second murder trial to start at 9:30 a.m. on March 3.

Wlasiuk’s original conviction was overturned on appeal in August, 2006. This is the third time the court has scheduled jury selection; previous dates were altered due to the defense requiring additional time, and due to the dismissal of Wlasiuk’s original indictment.

Wlasiuk, 38, is charged with the second degree murder for the death of his wife Patricia Wlasiuk, whose body was pulled from Guilford Lake on April 3, 2002. The couple had lived on New Virginia Road in Oxford and police arrested Wlasiuk on April 8, 2002. He was later found guilty of second degree murder by a jury. Judge W. Howard Sullivan sentenced Wlasiuk to 25 years to life on Jan. 3, 2003.
