Bond Review Planned In Univ. of Maryland Stabbing Case

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- A bond review is scheduled for a white man charged in the fatal stabbing of a black student visiting the University of Maryland that's being investigated by the FBI as a possible hate crime.

Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office spokesman John Erzen said the hearing for 22-year-old Sean Christopher Urbanski is set for Monday afternoon. Urbanski is charged with first- and second-degree murder and first-degree assault and is currently being held without bond.

Police say Bowie State University student Richard Collins III was attacked by Urbanski early Saturday while visiting the University of Maryland. The black student's slaying is being investigated by the FBI as a possible hate crime.

Police asked the FBI to assist after learning that Urbanski belonged to a Facebook group called "Alt-Reich: Nation," where members post disparaging material about African-Americans and others.
