KILLER (ALLEGED) OF LEIBY KLETZKY DIAGNOSED

The man charged with the July kidnapping of eight-year-old Leiby Kletzky from Borough Park and Leiby's subsequent murder and dismemberment in the man's Kensington home was evaluated by psychiatrists last week by court order and diagnosed as having "adjustment disorder and a personality disorder with schizoid features." At that time, he was deemed mentally competent to stand trial.

He was transferred from Bellevue Hospital to Rikers Island on Monday. His next court date is October 14th.
