IRONDALE, Ala. (AP) - A grand jury is set to see the case of an Alabama man accused of killing two motel owners and dumping their bodies near Birmingham.
Al.com reports a judge on Tuesday sent 28-year-old Steven Richard Mulkey’s case to the grand jury for a possible indictment. Mulkey is charged with capital murder for the September deaths of 76-year-old Siumei Kao and her husband, 77-year-old Ching Kao.
Police said during a preliminary hearing Tuesday that Mulkey bludgeoned the Irondale couple to death with a pipe and cut Siumei Kao’s throat.
