The attorney for a 48-year-old Preston man accused of murder entered not guilty pleas yesterday in Chenango County Court.

William Danielson was arraigned on charges of two counts of second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and second-degree assault.

Danielson is accused of robbing 38-year-old Lucinda Knoll, his former girlfriend, at her Bourbon Street home at about 6:30 am on December 27th, stealing property and hitting her on the head numerous times, causing injuries that resulted in her death.

Bail was not requested Wednesday but the right to apply for bail later was reserved.
