OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A hearing is set to determine if there is enough evidence to try a doctor for first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his 9-year-old son.

Fifty-one-year-old Dr. Stephen Paul Wolf is charged with the Nov. 16 stabbing death of Tommy Wolf in the kitchen of the family's upscale suburban Oklahoma City home.

A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled Friday before Oklahoma County Special Judge Larry Jones.

A police affidavit says an officer saw the boy with two knives sticking out of his chest and heard Wolf say: "You know he's got the devil in him."

Wolf has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But a judge in January ruled he is mentally competent to go to trial.
