Peters bound over on murder charges

BESSEMER, MI--   A Bessemer man accused of killing his 79-year-old wife has been bound over to circuit court. 

Fifty-year-old Kenneth Wayne Peters is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and second-degree abuse of a vulnerable adult.  Gogebic County Judge Anders Tingstad ruled Thursday there was enough evidence in the case to hold a trial.

Ethel Grzena Peters was last seen August 3 in Bessemer.  Her body was found ten days later in Watersmeet Township.

Arraignment is set for October 9 in Gogebic County Circuit Court.
