A man is charged with killing his daughter’s estranged husband and his former mother-in-law. Fifty-seven-year-old Donald Owens, of Marshall, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 35-year-old Ryan Sanders and 83-year-old Bonnie Charlene Hupp. Owens is jailed without bond in Saline County. Officers found Sanders fatally wounded around 1:40 a.m. Thursday in front of his home in Slater. Almost seven hours later, authorities were notified that Hupp had been found dead in a nearby residence. A probable cause statement said Owens admitted to shooting both victims. He said Hupp was responsible for his divorce and that he killed Sanders to “protect a family member involved in legal proceedings against Sanders.”
