A 33-year-old Louisiana ex-convict and his 23-year-old girlfriend have been indicted in Las Vegas on murder, conspiracy and other charges in the death of a woman whose body was found in a duffel bag in an underground utility vault.
A nine-count indictment filed Thursday could lead to a death penalty trial for Jamar Kenty Webb and Veronica Johnvae Houck in the death in August of 71-year-old Young Suk Sanchez.
Webb and Houck are also charged with kidnapping, robbery and possession and use of stolen credit cards.
Sanchez's decomposing body was found Sept. 22 by a utility worker near a complex of extended-stay suites in Las Vegas.
Houck and Webb were arrested in Louisiana about two weeks later.
Webb's attorney, David Schieck says he'll plead not guilty at arraignment Wednesday.
The Clark County Coroner's Office could not determine Sanchez's cause and manner of death.
