A murder trial has been delayed for 3-men accused of killing a Los Angeles man in Santa Cruz last year. 32-year-old Stewart Skuba, 30-year-old Adam Hunt, and 40-year-old Kenneth Clamp have all pleaded not guilty to killing 29-year-old Elias Sorokin in July of 2009. The 3-suspects were scheduled to appear in court on Monday, to face the murder charges, as well as kidnapping and robbery charges. They are now set to appear next Thursday, the 23rd, and the attorney for Stewart Skuba is expected to ask for a separate trial for his client, so that he can testify against the other defendants. The 3-are accused of attempting to rob Sorokin of marijuana, before using chloroform on him, and throwing his body off of a cliff north of Santa Cruz. Sorokin’s body has still not been found. The suspects remain jailed on 1-million dollars bail each.
