Three Arrests in Oconomowoc Murder
RAW VIDEO: Police News Conference on the arrests
WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities have arrested three men in the October murder of an Oconomowoc woman in what they say was part of a plot by her ex-boyfriend to get custody of their 4-year-old son.
Kimberly Smith's ex-boyfriend is accused of conspiring with a longtime friend to kill the 39-year-old mother on Oct. 1.
A third man is accused of traveling to Wisconsin and stabbing her to death. That's all according to Oconomowoc Police Chief David Beguhn.
The ex-boyfriend's friend was arrested Wednesday as he attempted to enter the United States from Mexico. The alleged murderer was arrested a short time later by Mexican authorities in that country, while the ex-boyfriend himself was arrested Wednesday night at his home in Lubbock, Texas.
All three men are being held on $2 million bail.
