A bail hearing is scheduled today for a Burrillville man accused of killing a Smithfield man in the parking lot of a recreation center.

Aaron Menard, 18, was initially scheduled for a bail hearing in District Court last week, but it was postponed until today.

Menard is accused of stabbing 26-year-old Kenneth Wanamaker to death on Aug. 15 after, the police say, the two got into an argument.

According to Det. Lt. Michael C. Rheaume, Wanamaker tried to get into an apartment where Mernard and Nicole Sherman, Wanamaker's former girlfriend, were sleeping.

The police say the couple woke up after hearing "something rustling at the screen." The two went outside, the police say, and found Wanamaker, dressed in dark clothes.

The police say the two men began fighting and Menard stabbed Wanamaker three times. He was found in a pool of blood behind the East Smithfield Neighborhood Center neighborhood center, which is located next to the apartment.

Menard is scheduled for a bail hearing today in District Court, Providence.

Hang your head in shame. If you get out on bail it will be a sad day for the justice system.
