Northern Wisconsin Man Says He Wants The Death Penalty For Killing Woman
Wisconsin Doesn't Have The Death Penalty

Court records say that a northern Wisconsin man accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend in the face and killing her mother told investigators he deserved the death penalty.

The criminal complaint says 41-year-old Lames Lahoud agreed to be interviewed while he was hospitalized in Eau Claire.

The complaint says Lahoud told investigators he killed two people. When he learned Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty, he said that "stunk" and asked to be taken to jail.

Lahoud was charged Wednesday with first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the Sept. 11 shooting at a rural Prentice trailer. The shootings killed 58-year-old Charlotte Engle and wounded her 34-year-old daughter Sarah.

Price County District Attorney Mark Fuhr says Lahoud will make his first court appearance Tuesday.
