The gruesome testimony of the former stepdaughter of Jesus Armando Ochoa Sanchez, 41, played a key role in certifying the case to a grand jury in Pittsylvania County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Wednesday.Â
The 15-year-old testified during a preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon that she witnessed Sanchez, her stepfather at the time, attack her mother, Xochil Ochoa, with a knife in their home on Mt. Cross Road on June 11. He cut her in the face, the girl testified through tears at Wednesday s hearing. Sanchez, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, was present.Â
The hearing resulted in Judge Turpin certifying Sanchez s two charges of first degree murder and assault of a law enforcement officer to Pittsylvania Circuit Court. Commonwealth Attorney Bryan Haskins reported the charges will go before the February Grand Jury next year.
