Mount Pleasant police initially were called at 8:23 p.m. Wednesday on a report of a domestic-related assault at a local residence. A witness heard someone screaming and saw a body being dragged across the home's front lawn to a vehicle, which then drove off...
Police said investigators learned that the woman had been struck with a hatchet after she pulled a vehicle into the home's driveway. Authorities said she had been at the Mount Pleasant home of a friend in order to hide from her husband.
About four minutes after the initial call, the Racine County Communications Center received a second call from a person at a Super 8 Motel reporting that a woman there was bleeding from the head. Patrol officers and the South Shore Fire Department responded, finding the couple there... The woman, police said, was taken by a helicopter to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, where she died from her injuries at 10 p.m.

Racine County prosecutors charged Cristian Loga-Negru, 38, of Arlington Heights, Ill., with first-degree intentional homicide, mayhem and kidnapping in the Wednesday night attack on Roxana E. Abrudan. His wife was 36 years old and lived in Arlington Heights, but she had been staying with her boss and his wife at their Mount Pleasant home for the past month to hide from Loga-Negru, according to his criminal complaint. The complaint states the couple married July 14 and Loga-Negru began physically abusing his wife soon after.
In asking during Loga-Negrus initial appearance in court that bond be withheld, Racine County District Attorney Rich Chiapete called the hatchet-attack killing heinous, shocking and horrific. He said Loga-Negru who has Romanian citizenship but also might have dual U.S. citizenship spent the past month searching for his wife, planning the attack, and then hunting her down.
He was lying in wait in that rented vehicle with binoculars and a hatchet, Chiapete said during the hearing.
