(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- Lawyers for an Iowa man accused of a quadruple murder say he might not understand the seriousness of the charges against him.

Luke Truesdell is scheduled to appear in court in September on charges of murdering four people outside of Robins, north of Cedar Rapids, in early June. That date is now on hold.

A competency hearing will be held tomorrow for Truesdell at the request of his attorneys.

Police say Truesdell confessed to the crime, and told them he thought the murder would make a good movie.
