On Tuesday, a Sturgeon Bay woman was convicted of killing her ex-partner. Court records show that 52-year-old Susan Soukup pleaded no contest to a first-degree intentional homicide charge in which she was accused of fatally stabbing 32-year-old Katie McConkey on August 25th in Sturgeon Bay. A criminal complaint states that after the stabbing, Soukup called the police and upon their arrival, told them she had stabbed McConkey.
The sentencing date is scheduled for July 23rd and the conviction carries an automatic life term in prison. The judge presiding over the case will determine whether Soukup is eligible for parole at any point.
