Jury selection was set for Monday in the trial of Keith Coleman, of Garland. Coleman has been charged in the deaths of 36-year-old Christina Sargent, 10-year-old Duwayne Coke and 8-year-old Destiny Sargent.

Investigators say the bodies were found Dec. 20, 2014, in a mobile home Coleman shared with the victims.

A court affidavit says Coleman told investigators he chased down and strangled the children because they had witnessed their mother's death.
