PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — A prosecutor says a man killed his grandmother by crushing her skull and face with a hammer.
Assistant State’s Attorney Jason Ramos described the scene during a bond hearing Friday for 28-year-old Cody Krause.
Peoria County deputies found the body of 73-year-old Glenda Rusterholz at her home Thursday.
Autopsy results released Friday morning stated Rusterholz suffered “multiple severe blunt force trauma injuries consistent with being assaulted by another.” She also had multiple defensive wounds through her upper extremities.
The Journal Star reports Krause’s attorney asked for bail to be set at $1 million, but the judge sided with Ramos’ request for $2.5 million.
