Man gets 50-year sentence for eastern Iowa slaying

News

March 25th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

MAQUOKETA, Iowa (AP) — A Dubuque man has been given 50 years in prison for killing a 59-year-old man at the victim’s home in Bellevue. Jackson County District Court records say 24-year-old Drew Mangler was sentenced Friday. He’d been convicted last month of second-degree murder. Prosecutors say he stabbed to death Richard Remakel during a break-in.

Officers found Remakel’s body after being called to a house in Bellevue on Dec. 25, 2016. An autopsy showed Remakel had been stabbed at least 32 times in his upper body, neck and head. He was believed to be dead for several days before police found him.

Court documents say Mangler was developed as a suspect following witness accounts to police. Investigators say they found a shoe with Remakel’s blood on it during a search of Mangler’s house.

Iowa man sought in shotgun slayings of 2 people in Nebraska

News

March 25th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

DOUGLAS, Neb. (AP) — Authorities are seeking an Iowa man suspected of shooting to death two people at their home in southeast Nebraska — the parents of his former live-in girlfriend.
Otoe County Court records say 36-year-old Brindar Jangir is charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him.

An affidavit in support of an arrest warrant says Jangir used a stolen shotgun to kill Randal and Annette Grimes on Saturday morning in the village of Douglas. Their bodies were discovered by a sheriff’s deputy who was checking on an aborted call to 911.

The affidavit says Randal and Annette Grimes were the parents of a woman Jangir was living with in Sioux City, Iowa, until she moved out March 12. The affidavit says she told officers Jangir threatened to kill her and her parents if she ever left him.
