MISSOULA — The trial of a Superior man charged with killing his wife and a bartender will be moved from Mineral County to Ravalli County.

Kraig Walter Benson is charged with two counts of deliberate homicide in the deaths of his wife Jenny Benson, and a bartender, Logan Gardner, inside the Four Aces Bar that happened in August 2023.

Benson has pleaded not guilty to both those charges.

The Mineral County Court Clerk confirmed to MTN the trial will be held in Ravalli County after a motion to change venue was approved by the judge at a pre-trial conference on Thursday.
