Competency hearings set in Slender Man stabbings

MADISON - A judge plans to hold competency hearings this week for two girls accused of trying to kill a classmate to please the fictional character Slender Man.

Attorneys for both girls are challenging findings from state doctors that the girls are fit to stand trial on attempted homicide charges. Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren will hold hearings for both of them on Thursday.

According to court documents, the girls plotted for months to kill their friend and finally attacked her in May in a Waukesha park.
