The man accused of murdering his roommate in a dorm at Purdue last year is heading to trial.
A judge ordered Ji Min Sha to be transferred to the Tippecanoe County Jail — which means he has been deemed fit to stand trial for the murder of Varun Cheda. Sha is accused of stabbing Cheda to death.
In March, physicians said that Sha met the criteria for schizophrenia and was incompetent to stand trial and since then has stayed at a health institute.
With him now being found competant to move ahead with a murder trial, a hearing is set for late September to figure out how to proceed.
Sha faces at least 45 years in prison.
