APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Murder suspect Demetrius Williams pleaded not guilty Tuesday to trying to escape from the Outagamie County jail.
Williams is accused of stabbing and killing a 3-year-old girl in Appleton in February. He’s also charged with stabbing and injuring the girl’s mother, who was pregnant with his child.
Williams and Matthew Beyer allegedly worked together to try to escape from the jail June 7. They didn’t get out of the cell block, much less the jail itself.

Beyer is accused of killing his children, 5-year-old William and 3-year-old Danielle, in Kaukauna in February.
No trial date was set for Williams Tuesday. He returns to court Sept. 29 for a status conference in both the escape and murder cases.
Beyer’s next court date is Dec. 4.
