NORWICH – Twice-convicted murderer Peter Wlasiuk returned to the Chenango County Courthouse Friday and Broome County’s Judge Martin E. Smith – acting judge in the case against the former Guilford resident – announced a trial date of April 30 following a brief scheduling conference with attorneys.

It was Wlasiuk’s first appearance in court since the New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division upheld his second appeal in the death of his wife, Patricia Wlasiuk, whose body was recovered from Guilford Lake in April of 2002.
