A judge is still waiting for a second mental evaluation to be completed before deciding if a Salina man accused of a double murder is competent to stand trial.
Via video, 36-year-old Preston Reyna appeared in Saline County District Court Monday afternoon.
Central Kansas Mental Health Center has already completed a court ordered comprehensive mental health evaluation. Because of lingering concerns, back in April the court granted a request by Reyna’s attorneys and ordered a second expert conduct a comprehensive mental evaluation.
On Monday Reyna’s attorneys indicated the evaluation with take at least another month before it will be complete.

Upon arrival officers located two females in the driveway, who were deceased due to an apparent homicide. The cause of death is blunt force trauma.
At 5:38 PM, officers located the suspect a couple blocks from the scene and took him into custody without incident.
Reyna is facing charges which include:
- 2 counts of 1st Degree Murder
- 2 counts of Aggravated Domestic Violence Battery,
- Aggravated Kidnapping
