ROSEVILLE, Mich. (AP) - A Flint teen accused in the killing of a 21-year-old man and other crimes has been found competent to stand trial in Macomb County.

The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press say 17-year-old Ihab Maslamani underwent a psychiatric examination last month.

Maslamani is accused in three criminal cases, including the Aug. 9 abduction outside an Eastpointe sub shop of Matt Landry of Chesterfield Township. Landry's body was found four days later in a burned-out house in Detroit.

Maslamani faces hearings to decide if he should stand trial in the cases. They're Oct. 28 in Clinton Township, Nov. 9 in Roseville and Nov. 12 in Eastpointe.

Defense lawyer Joseph Kosmala says Maslamani has "had a very hard life."
