South African Anthony Theodorou among 3 nabbed for murder in US
A South African man is among three suspects arrested in the US on charges of murder.
According to international media, Anthony Theodorou was taken into custody last week Thursday.
The 33-year-old was charged with murder alongside Amanda Hovanec and her mother Anita Green.
The trio are allegedly linked to the death of a Virginia man, 36-year-old Timothy Hovanec, whose body was discovered in the Auglaize County in Ohio.
According to a police statement, the victim had been visiting the area on family business when he was reported missing last week.
Several international media houses confirmed his body was later found in a rural area in the country.
His estranged wife, Amanda, is accused of injecting him with “an overdose of a synthetic opioid”, while Theodorou is believed to have supplied Amanda with the drugs and help with the disposal of the body.
Auglaize County sheriff Michael Vorhees confirmed the circumstances to local media WHIO-TV 7.
The trio remain in custody with bail set at $2 million.
The suspects are set to appear in court again on Tuesday, where the court is expected to receive bail information.
