The attorney for a man accused of killing his neighbor has asked the court for a competency evaluation of his client.

Raymond “Dale” Maloney, age 78 of LaHarpe, has been charged with first-degree murder and interference with law enforcement in the May 3 death of Richard Diehl, 68.
Diehl’s body was found at a workshop at his home in rural LaHarpe; Maloney was arrested three days later.
