Akron, Ohio ? An Ohio soldier charged and then cleared in a “mercy killing” in Iraq has been charged again in the case, according to his uncle.

Second Lt. Erick Anderson, 26, of nearby Twinsburg, was notified by military prosecutors that he has been charged with two counts of murder as well as other charges involving his service in Iraq, said his uncle Peter Lorenz, an attorney from Kent.

In January, the Army dismissed charges against Anderson but said it was continuing to investigate his conduct in the death of an Iraqi teen.

Two area members of Congress, Reps. Steven C. LaTourette and Tim Ryan, plan to meet with family members on Monday in Cleveland to announce efforts on Anderson’s behalf. Deborah Setliff, a spokeswoman for LaTourette, said there would be no comment before the news conference.

A public affairs spokeswoman at Fort Riley, Kan., told the Akron Beacon Journal she did not have information about the Anderson case and was unable to answer questions about it. After-hours calls to the post public information office went unanswered Saturday.

Lorenz said his nephew has been recharged in the killing of a wounded Iraqi teenager and faces a new charge in the death of another Iraqi citizen, as well as other lesser charges. He said his nephew denies all the charges, which were not detailed.

In the original murder case, eyewitnesses said soldiers tried to rescue a severely wounded Iraqi from a burning truck. An investigator said the soldiers decided that “the best course of action was to put (the victim) out of his misery.”

Anderson served in Iraq with Company C, 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment, based at Fort Riley.
