47 year old James Brumfield of Huntington stands accused of attacking his mother, 72 year old Kathryn Gue of Wayne County with a hammer. During his hearing yesterday Brumfield’s attorney asked to have his bond lowered, but was denied since he has not revealed a motive in the attack. Brumfield’s attorney is requesting an evaluation to see if he is mentally competent to stand trial. Gue is currently listed in critical condition at St. Mary’s medical center.
