(KNZA)--Three have been charged in the stabbing death of a 28-year-old St. Joseph, Missouri man whose body was found over the weekend in a river.
KQ2-TV reports Buchanan County Prosecutor Dwight Scroggins Monday charged 24-year-old St. Joseph resident Sean Liechti, 43-year-old Elwood, Kansas resident Kelli Hoard and 22-year-old Primalton Peterson III, of St. Joseph, with second-degree murder in the death of Richard Berry.
