10-2-14 double homicide-berlin

BERLIN, Wis. (AP) — Green Lake County’s top prosecutor says he expects to file homicide charges against the husband of a woman found fatally shot along with another man in Berlin.  District Attorney Andrew Christenson said at a news conference Wednesday that those charges against 33-year-old Nicholas Tuinstra, as well as a court appearance, are expected Thursday.  Melissa Tuinstra and Justin Daniels were found shot Saturday night in Berlin. Police say Tuinstra and her husband had filed for divorce and that she was dating Daniels.  Chief Dennis Plantz is asking for the public’s help in locating a handgun believed to have been used in the slayings. Nicholas Tuinstra was questioned shortly after the shootings and was released. He was arrested Tuesday night.  The slayings prompted an Amber Alert for the Tuinstras’ 8-year-old daughter. She was found unharmed with relatives in Marquette County Sunday.
