Stephen Shand, the man accused of killing Hyde Park woman Kathryn Filiberti, pleaded not guilty today in Dutchess County Court at his arraignment on an indictment charging him with raping, strangling and drowning her.
The 10-count indictment, unsealed Thursday before Judge Stephen L. Greller, charges 23-year-old Shand with three counts of first-degree murder, four counts of second-degree murder, one count of first-degree kidnapping and two counts of first-degree predatory sexual assault.
Shand was sent back to Dutchess County Jail.
A lawyer for the Public Defender's Office had requested bail be set, but it was denied due to the seriousness of the charges and because Shand's visa has expired.

Very interesting case. Hundreds of comments on the POJO website from locals who believe this was a cover up. The blame was intially laid on her on/off boyfriend..Then it got changed to her boyfriends brother and girlfriend. Then a rumour started that it was a cop. Then rumours came out that Kathryn had been sleeping with a cop and that he had killed her. Then out of no where they arrested this Steven Shand newspaper boy. Some people believe he is totally guilty and then other people are commenting that its the hugest cover up. So tragic that such a prety girl died like this
