A judge in Syracuse, New York has set a trial date for a man accused of being drunk when his boat crashed into another boat last summer, killing a Virginia police officer and his girlfriend.

Thirty-two-year-old Craig Cordes of Onondaga will go on trial April 7 on charges of first-degree vehicular manslaughter, as well as boating while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to render aid in distress, reckless operation of a vessel and failure to yield right of way.

Onondaga County prosecutors say he was drunk when he drove his boat into another boat on Skaneateles Lake last July 8.

Richmond police officer John Kelly and 26-year-old Heather Wilkins of Richmond were killed.

Authorities say Cordes fled the scene without helping Wilkins and Kelly, who was visiting his family in Skaneateles.
