An accused killer in northwestern Missouri is asking for a new judge and a change of venue for his trial.
Garland Joseph Nelson of Braymer is facing two counts of first-degree murder. His attorneys entered the motions during a Monday hearing in Caldwell County.
Prosecutors say he killed 35-year-old Nick Diemel and 34-year-old Justin Diemel last summer. Their remains were found at locations in Missouri and Nebraska.
They had traveled from Shawano County to Nelson’s farm to collect a $250,000 debt.
