SLAYING SUSPECT TO BE EVALUATED

ILLUSTRATION: JIM WALKER/The Virginian-Pilot

Louis Pino, escorted by Deputy James Bell, was arraigned Monday in

Norfolk Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. At the request of

Pino's attorney, the judge ordered a mental evaluation of the

18-year-old, charged in the January slaying of Adam Wese, 16. Wese's

body was found stuffed in a box in a closet of Pino's Little Bay

Ave. apartment Thursday, after Pino called police and reported

finding the body. Pino's lawyer, John R. Doyle III, said he

requested the evaluation because of a statement Pino made to police

when he was arrested Thursday. The statement was not divulged in

court.
