(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a Holton man facing a charge of attempted first-degree murder has been postponed again.

Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller says the hearing for 30-year-old Manual Juarez-Benito was continued Thursday to May 12.

Juarez-Benito was arrested February 9th at a Holton residence after officers responded to a domestic incident involving an alleged attempted strangulation.  The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Besides the attempted murder charge, Juarez-Benito is also charged with rape, aggravated battery, two counts of criminal threat, aggravated endangering a child, domestic battery and obstruction of official duty.

He remains in the Jackson County Jail on a $200,000 bond.
