Bail was denied for a Vicksburg man accused of stabbing a woman to death Wednesday night at her home on Grammar Street.

Municipal Judge Toni Terrett declined to set bail for in the first-degree murder case against Derrick Ramone Hall, 34, who said during the hearing he lives at 2200 Short Main St.

Hall is accused of fatally stabbing 31-year-old Kathryn Peacock at 1224 Grammar Street. Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong described Hall as an acquaintance of Peacock’s.

Police were called to the home at about 8 a.m., Armstrong said. Peacock was pronounced dead at 10 p.m., Deputy Coroner Ron Regan said.
