| Bail Set at $1M for Man Accused in Dentist Slaying |
| 11/6/2009 |
| Bail has been set at $1 million for a man accused of killing a Fargo dentist in a murder-for-hire scheme. Cass County deputies drove Michael Nakvinda from Oklahoma City after his arrest there last weekend. Nakvinda, 41, appeared in court in Fargo on Friday morning. Judge Georgia Dawson set bail and scheduled a Dec. 3 preliminary hearing. He is charged with murder, robbery, burglary and theft in the beating death of Philip Gattuso late last month. Gattuso`s father-in-law, Gene Kirkpatrick, 63, of the Oklahoma City area, has refused to waive extradition. He faces conspiracy charges. Authorities say Kirkpatrick hired Nakvinda, who was his handyman, to kill Gattuso because he did not like the way Gattuso was raising his granddaughter after her mother died. |
