HOLLIS, Okla. (AP) -
Prosecutors have filed first-degree murder charges against two women
whose alleged accomplice was shot and killed during a reported home
burglary in Vinson.
Prosecutors say the three
women allegedly broke into the home and 1 of the women, 50-year-old Mary
Kathleen Sanders, was shot and killed by the man who lived there.
On Tuesday, prosecutors
filed the murder charges against 37-year-old Starr Timmons of Elk City
and 26-year-old Misty Puskaric of Sayre. Oklahoma law permits the filing
of murder charges if death results during the commission of a felony.
The women appeared in Harmon County District Court on Tuesday
and were ordered held on $500,000 bond each. Court records do not list
an attorney for either woman.
