A man charged with fatally stabbing and then dismembering a 75-year-old Winston-Salem man in 2017 is being sent to Central Regional Hospital after he was declared mentally incompetent to stand trial.
Adrion Demare Whorley, 35, of Rockingham, is charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and concealing a death in connection with the death of John Douglas Agnew. Prosecutors allege that he killed Agnew and then dismembered him at Agnewâs house sometime between April 7, 2017, and April 10, 2017. Prosecutors allege that Whorley dumped part of Agnewâs body in Randolph County.
They are pursuing the death penalty in this case.
At a brief hearing in Forsyth Superior Court Friday morning, Assistant District Attorney James Dornfried said that two doctors â Matthew McNally, a psychologist at Central Regional Hospital, and Dr. Moira Artigues, a forensic psychiatrist â concluded that Whorley lacked the mental capacity to stand trial.
