Second Youth Held In Elderly Man’s Death

A second Kootenai County teenager has been charged with the murder of an elderly man during a break-in at the victim’s home.

Timothy Bailey, 17, was ordered to stand trial by Kootenai County Magistrate Barry Watson for the slaying of Patrick Victorino. Watson bound Bailey over to 1st District Court on Monday under the state’s felony murder law, which allows anyone involved in a felony where a death occurs to be charged with first-degree murder.

Bailey also is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery.

David Woffenden, 17, faces the same two charges and has admitted to police that he stabbed Victorino, but his preliminary hearing has been continued.

A third teenager, Joshua Scott, 16, has already pleaded guilty to a robbery charge in a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Victorino, 70, was killed late on Nov. 16 when the house where he lived alone was broken into and cash stolen. An autopsy showed he died of multiple stab wounds.
