(KNZA)--New court dates are set for three Atchison men charged in a fatal 2019 Doniphan County fight.

Matthew “ Cole” Scherer is now set for arraignment on October 28 in Doniphan County District Court, while Scott Vandeloo is set for arraignment on December 2.

A pre-trial conference for Brian Spilman, Jr. is now scheduled for January 6.

All three men are charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of 42-year-old Jason Pantle, of Cummings.

Authorities allege the trio engaged in altercations with Pantle during a September 29, 2019 party in southern Doniphan County.

Pantle died seven days later at a Kansas City hospital after suffering what investigators called serious head injuries.

Scherer, Vandeloo and Spilman remain free on a $150,000 bond each.
