OMRO, Wis. (AP) - An Omro man accused of killing his wife and a man who was visiting and then trying to set the home on fire with help from another man was charged Wednesday in Winnebago County Court.
Andrew Clark is charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of attempted mutilation of a corpse, court records show.
Authorities said Clark shot and killed his wife, 36-year-old Melissa Matz, during an argument, and then killed 40-year-old Levar Wallace, of Appleton, on Oct. 21. Clark and another man, Michael Draine, allegedly put gas soaked rags near one of the victims along with a candle that was used as a makeshift fuse.
A judge on Wednesday set Clark’s bond at $2 million cash and scheduled a preliminary hearing for Nov. 4. Clark’s public defender, Morgan Rae, did not immediately return a phone message left by The Associated Press.
Draine, of Hudson, Iowa, was charged earlier with harboring or aiding a felon. His attorney, Amanda Belville, did not immediately respond to a phone message left Wednesday.
