ORIGINAL STORY

A man who authorities say admitted to the killing of one of his co-workers has been hospitalized.

According to a correctional officer at the South Central Regional Jail, Charles March was transported from the jail Wednesday to a hospital.

In late July, a Kanawha County grand jury indicted March on charges of First Degree murder and concealment of a body.

Kathy Goble disappeared in April 2010 and then two years later, in May 2012, investigators found Goble's dismembered remains about two feet deep in a shallow grave in Charles March's backyard.

Charles March is scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment on Friday, Aug. 10 on the murder charges.
