A man has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for two charges of solicitation of capital murder after he and his veterinarian girlfriend tried to hire someone to kill their exes.

Firefighters in Illinois discovered a murder scene at a business south of central Chicago, where Dane Koteski, the CEO of a trucking company, was found dead with injuries to his throat.

Authorities suspect foul play and are investigating with local agencies.

The suspect, an employee of Koteski, was tracked and arrested in Michigan on murder charges.

Koteski was a father and active community member, with a fundraiser set up for his funeral and his son's education.

The incident has left the community saddened and in shock as they remember his generosity and kindness.

Former Kentucky sheriff, Shawn “Mickey” Stines, is facing charges for fatally shooting District Judge Kevin Mullins in a courthouse in Whitesburg last year.

Prosecutors are seeking a mental evaluation for Stines after his attorneys indicated they will argue he was emotionally disturbed during the shooting.

The motive for the shooting remains unclear.

Stines' attorneys plan to present evidence of insanity and extreme emotional disturbance without questioning his mental fitness for trial.

Stines remains in jail without bond and has pleaded not guilty to murder of a public official.

A state doctor may evaluate his mental health claims.

The case continues to unfold.
