The Sturgeon Bay woman accused of allegedly killing her ex-girlfriend back in August was back in court on Monday and ordered to stand trial. District Attorney Colleen Nordin says Susan Soukup is charged with first-degree intentional homicide and will stand trial after her arraignment on December 7. Enough evidence was presented to the court to bind Soukup over to trial.
According to the criminal complaint, the 52-year-old Soukup stated that she stabbed her roommate, identified as 32-year-old Katie McConkey, in the neck after McConkey went to sleep instead of talking to her after work. Soukup reportedly called police and admitted to the stabbing. If convicted, Soukup could face up to life in prison. She will enter her plea of guilty, not guilty, no contest, or not guilty due to mental disease or defect at the December 7 arraignment.
