Missouri: Robinson indicted on murder charges

John E. Robinson Sr., already convicted of capital murder in Kansas, was indicted on more murder charges by a Missouri grand jury on Friday.

Robinson, 59, was indicted in Cass County on three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of armed criminal action. The grand jury returned the indictments after hearing about five hours of testimony.

The capital murder indictments stem from the deaths of Beverly Bonner, 49, of Cameron; Sheila Faith, 45; and her paraplegic daughter, Debbie, 16, both formerly of California. Their bodies were found on June 5, 2000, stuffed in barrels in a Raymore storage locker rented by Robinson.

He was sentenced to die in January in Kansas for the deaths of Suzette Trouten, 27, of Michigan, and Izabela Lewicka, 21, a former Purdue University student. Their bodies were found on his rural Linn County, Kan., property. Both women were killed after being lured to Kansas by Robinson to engage in sadomasochistic sex.
