LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man charged with murder appeared in court Monday, after he was accused of stabbing his roommate to death.

Police say Alune Badu killed Hanne Rassoul in what appears to be an unprovoked attack.

Authorities say it happened on Crafty Drive almost two weeks ago.

A third roommate grabbed the knife from Badu and called police.

The judge ordered a competency hearing during Monday's arraignment.

Badu is being held on a $250,000 full-cash bond.
