SALT LAKE CITY — Colorado police plan to seek murder charges against an ex-convict suspected of killing a man, stealing guns from his trailer, then heading to Utah and fatally shooting a student during an attempted carjacking.
Golden, Colorado, police on Wednesday named Austin Boutain and his wife Kathleen Boutain as suspects in the death of 63-year-old Mitchell Ingle. Ingle's body was found in his trailer in Colorado on Tuesday.
Police believe the Boutains met Ingle a few days before in a chance encounter.
Authorities believe that after Ingle's killing, the couple drove to Utah, where Austin Boutain killed 23-year-old student ChenWei Guo in a canyon.
Utah police say Austin Boutain tried to drag Guo's female friend into a canyon and fired shots at her when she fled. She escaped gunfire and called police.
