DEVELOPER SHELVES PLAN AT SLAYING SITE

The owner of Robin Hood Hills in West Memphis, where three 8-year-olds were killed a year ago today, confirmed Wednesday that he has withdrawn a plan to chop down the trees and bulldoze the woodlands for commercial development.
Lowell Taylor of Hughes said he withdrew his request for a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers because "we just don't think it's developable at the present time."
Taylor applied last year for a permit to dredge and fill in the 4-acre tract next to the Blue Beacon Truck Wash on an Interstate 40 access road.
The woods, which border the Ten-Mile Bayou drainage canal, were the site of the May 5, 1993, murders of Steve Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore.
