GLENDALE -- Bail has been denied for a pediatrician convicted of

second-degree murder for killing a colleague who was also his lover.

The lawyer for Dr. Kevin Paul Anderson, 42, had asked that he be

released on $500,000 bail until sentencing March 8.

Anderson was convicted Dec. 4 of second-degree murder in the death of

Dr. Deepti Gupta. Anderson strangled Gupta, who was pregnant with his

child, and pushed her body over a cliff in the Angeles National Forest in

November 1999.

Anderson has been held without bail since being arrested on suspicion

of murder shortly after the incident.
