A judge has ordered the homicide charges against a man accused of strangling his ex-girlfriend be held for trial.

Mauricio Bedolla-Camacho, 26, of Cochranville, was arrested May 1 for the murder of Daicy Vasquez, 25, of Kennett Square, who he allegedly strangled with twine on April 27 at a West Fallowfield dairy farm where he worked.

Magisterial District Judge Nancy A. Gill held homicide charges Thursday for trial in Common Pleas Court, but dropped the charges for attempted kidnapping and attempt to interfere with child custody.
