Prosecutor: Car salesman strangled pregnant prostitute
DAVENPORT (AP) — A prosecutor says a Burlington car salesman choked a pregnant Davenport prostitute to death in 2007 and burnt her body before dumping the corpse in a farm field.
During an opening statement Tuesday at Chad Welsh’s murder trial, prosecutor Amy DeVine says Welsh strangled Angela Hennes by putting zip ties around her neck while she was five months pregnant.
She says the evidence will show Welsh is guilty of first-degree murder, abusing her corpse and terminating her pregnancy.
