Dane County Circuit Court Judge William Foust ruled Wednesday there is probable cause to try former UW-Madison student Meng-Ju Wu with murdering three men in Verona last summer, according to The Capital Times.
Wu faces three counts of first degree homicide. Prosecutors gave evidence at his preliminary hearing, which began Nov. 25 and continued Wednesday, linking Wu circumstantially to the murders. Foust cited this evidence in his decision.
Prosecutors said Wu's fingerprints were found on a gun case identical the one victim Jason McGuigan, 28, purchased in June. That gun was used to kill the three men, prosecutors said.
