(WXYZ) - Joe Gentz is due back in court this morning.

Gentz is the handyman charged in the murder of Grosse Pointe mother Jane Bashara. The special pre-trial hearing will be held in Wayne County Circuit Court at 9 a.m.

He is the only person charged so far in the murder of Jane Bashara. Jane’s husband, Bob, was sentenced last week for hiring a hitman to kill Joe Gentz.

Gentz has told investigators Bob Bashara forced him to kill Jane.
