The man accused of murdering a 6-year-old boy in Woodford County while he slept appeared in a courtroom Wednesday.
Ronald Exantus, 32, is accused of stabbing Logan Tipton to death during a home invasion last December. Exantus, 32, of Indianapolis is accused of breaking into the house where the boy lived with his parents and siblings in Versailles. He’s facing murder and assault charges.
Last month, a judge said he was under evaluation and his status hearing was moved to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Security was increased at the courtroom due to specific threats against Exantus and rumors that his family would be in court.
Exantus’ attorney declined to speak on camera out of respect for the Tipton family but she told LEX 18 that her client has no recollection of the night the murder happened and the only knowledge he has is what others have told him. She went on to say he suffered a “psychotic break” and has been under psychiatric evaluation and heavy medication ever since.
He will be back in court June 1.
