Man accused of wife's killing awaits grand jury.
Byline: The Register-Guard
A man accused of killing his estranged wife with a shotgun on
Friday remains in the Lane County Jail awaiting grand jury action on a
charge of aggravated murder.
Tyke Thomas Supanchick, 27, appeared briefly Tuesday for a court
hearing at the jail, where he is being held under a district
attorney's information charging him with killing 25-year-old Kelly
Supanchick in her rented duplex as Eugene police officers broke into the
house in an attempt to save her.
Kelly Supanchick had obtained a restraining order against her
husband in November. A grand jury will consider a formal charge against
him later this week. Tyke Supanchick could face the death penalty if
convicted.
