A St. Paul, Minnesota, man is facing murder charges about a decade after he claimed that his wife was killed by a home intruder.
Nicholas James Firkus, 38, was arrested Thursday and now faces second-degree intentional murder in the death of his wife, Heidi Firkus, who was shot and killed in April 2010, officials said in an arrest warrant that was unsealed Thursday. The warrant said Nicholas Firkus had allegedly told police an intruder broke into their home, the intruder grabbed their shotgun, and shot them both—killing his wife and injuring him.
