Don?t Kill the Messenger ? or the Process Server

By Janet Langjahr

There have been countless incidents of one spouse murdering another during a divorce.

But a Colorado husband allegedly went one better.

A process server came to his home one evening to serve him with divorce papers - and a domestic violence restraining order.

Oddly, the man’s wife accompanied the server. Perhaps she was there to collect their children, who were at the home.

The man could have simply ignored the doorbell or accepted the papers, like most targets of process service do. That’s certainly what he should have done.

But, instead, this man apparently beat and stabbed the would-be process server.

Now the man faces first degree murder charges.
