A man charged with killing a Great Bend man and leaving his body in a roadside ditch will not go on trial until August.

Thirty-one-year-old Jeffrey Wade Chapman of Great Bend was scheduled to go on trial this week for first-degree murder in the death of 25-year-old Damon Galyardt. The Hutchinson News reports the trial was delayed until Aug. 5 after new attorneys were appointed to represent Chapman. Chapman pleaded innocent in November.

Hunters found Galyardt’s body in November 2011 in a roadside ditch southwest of Great Bend.

Testimony during Chapman’s preliminary hearing in October indicated Chapman was angry because of the way Galyardt treated a woman with whom he was living.
