Charges Bound Over in Gilpin Township Homicide

All charges in Commonwealth v. Mengqi Zang were held for court after a nearly two-and-a-half-hour preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge James Andring. Zang is accused of stabbing and killing her 79-year-old mother-in-law, Rosalind Cooper, inside Cooper’s home in Gilpin Township on June 28; family members, investigators and Armstrong County Coroner Brian Myers testified for the Commonwealth. First Assistant Jordan Buzza handled the hearing on behalf of the District Attorney’s Office.
