OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A judge has denied bail for a man charged with first-degree murder in the death of an Arizona man whose burned body was found in an eastern Nebraska field.
The Omaha World-Herald reports (https://bit.ly/1Fv3G16 ) that 34-year-old Joseph Fleming was denied bond Friday. He and 29-year-old John Meyers are charged in the death of Jose Quintero.
A prosecutor said in court Friday that Quintero died from head and neck trauma after being stabbed at Fleming’s house in Omaha on Sept. 24, 2012. A witness reported seeing Fleming and Meyers with Quintero the day before he was found dead.
Prosecutors say Fleming and Meyers killed Quintero, then drove out to a secluded field to dump his body.
Sarpy County farmers found Quintero’s burned body after noticing smoke between their fields.
