HOULTON, Maine (AP) — A jury has been seated after three days of questioning more than 100 potential jurors for the trial of a Maine man accused of killing two men and a 10-year-old boy in Aroostook County.

After completing jury selection Monday, Justice E. Allen Hunter denied a defense motion to move the trial. Opening statements were expected later in the day.

Thanye Ormsby is using an insanity defense.

He’s charged in the June 2010 stabbing deaths of Jeffrey Ryan, Ryan’s 10-year-old son Jesse, and family friend Jason Dehahn at Ryan’s home in Amity, a small town near the Canadian border. He was arrested on July 2 in Dover, N.H.
