Montecito murder suspect Henry Rostomyan plead not guilty to murder

A man arrested in a murder-for-hire plot to smother a 96-year-old woman and steal her $5 million Montecito mansion pleaded not guilty on Thursday.

Henry Rostomyan, 33, appeared in Santa Barbara Superior Court today after being charged last week in connection with the murder of Violet Evelyn Alberts.

Appearing before Judge Thomas Adams, Rostomyan entered a plea of not guilty. Adams subsequently ordered him back to jail without bail, citing him as a danger to the public.
