Minn. Man Accused Of Killing Girlfriend With Bow And Arrow

OLIVIA, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota man accused of killing his girlfriend with a bow and arrow before trying to take his own life is being held on $1 million bail.

A criminal complaint filed in Renville County District Court charges Dwayne Alan Case with intentional second-degree murder in the death of 45-year-old Elizabeth Gregg, of Morgan.

Court documents say Renville County sheriff's deputies were called to a remote campsite south of Franklin on June 12 and found Case in a tent with a gunshot wound to his jaw consistent with the rifle he was holding. After deputies removed Case from the tent they discovered Gregg's body. An autopsy later found an arrow had perforated her stomach and liver.

Deputies say a compound bow and quiver of arrows were found in the tent.
