Trial delayed for suspect in 2 Vermont murders
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – The trial for a man accused of two murders in Chittenden County has been delayed.
Denroy Dasent, 54, of South Burlington, faces second-degree murder charges after police say he shot and killed Sheikhnoor Osman at a Burlington apartment complex in 2022.
Dasent is also the suspect in a separate murder on the same day at the Swiss Host motel in South Burlington.
He is expected to be tried for both cases in the same trial, which was supposed to start on Tuesday. But the trial has been delayed following a motion for an emergency psychiatric evaluation.
His attorney says there are concerns about Dasent’s competency and mental state.
