ELKHORN Wis. (Reuters) - A
former Wisconsin police officer suspected in the deaths of two women
whose bodies were found in suitcases said that he accidentally killed
the women during sexual encounters, a detective testified on Thursday.
The testimony by the detective, Jeffrey Recknagel, of the Walworth
County Sheriff’s Office, came during a hearing in the case. Judge
Phillip Koss ruled on Thursday that Wisconsin prosecutors have
demonstrated probable cause to continue the case against Steven Zelich,
52.
Zelich is accused of hiding the bodies of two women in suitcases and dumping the luggage in a roadside ditch.more
