Gun-Loving Engineer Held in Connection With Tubing Murder, Cops Say
Authorities are holding a suspect in connection with the death of a 17-year-old high school student who was stabbed along with four others while tubing on Wisconsin’s Apple River over the weekend.
Nicolae Miu, 52, was arrested without incident around 5:15 p.m. Saturday by deputies from the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office, some 90 minutes after the terrifying attack. Miu had left the scene by the time officers arrived, but they identified him using a photograph taken by a bystander, police said.
Miu has yet to be formally charged but was arrested on charges of first-degree intentional homicide, mayhem, and aggravated battery with intent to cause great bodily harm, according to booking records. He will appear in court Monday at 1 p.m. local time, Capt. Tim Kufus told The Daily Beast in an email.
