MARSHALL(WKZO-AM) — They had been childhood friends and were once brothers-in-law, but a girl came between them and now one of them has been brutally murdered and the other reportedly has confessed to the crime.
29-year-old Stephen Getter of Olivet has been formally charged with open murder and gun felonies, and ordered held without bond in the death of 28-year-old Robert Barosso II.
Sometime after Barosso divorced Getter’s sister, he took up with a girl that Getter had dated and apparently still loved. In fact there is some question as to which was the biological father of a child, and that had soured their relationship for the past few years.
Police say it apparently boiled over two days after Christmas and Borosso was shot six times and repeatedly stabbed.
His body was then dumped along a rural road in Lee Township where Police say Getter led them Friday.
