INDEPENDENCE (AP) - An attorney for a Coralville woman accused of killing one son and trying to kill another has asked for more time to file motions in the case.

Michelle Kehoe is charged with first-degree murder, attempt to commit murder and child endangerment resulting in serious injury.

She pleaded not guilty in late November and is being held in the Buchanan County jail under $2.5 million bond.

Police say Kehoe drove her sons, Seth, 2, and Sean, 7, to a pond near Littleton and bound them with duct tape before cutting their throats, killing Seth and leaving Sean seriously injured.

Kehoe's attorney filed a motion last week to extend deadlines to file motions and notices of defense in the case, which is scheduled to go to trial in March.
