A 50-year-old man in Wisconsin already serving dual life sentences for killing his girlfriend and her best friend — stabbing them both to death when he “snapped in a jealous rage because he saw them being intimate and felt “humiliated” — is scheduled to go to trial next month for allegedly attacking a correctional officer during his incarceration.

Richard Wendell Sotka is currently scheduled to go to trial on Jan. 8, 2025, in Green Bay on one count of battery by a prisoner, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Sotka previously made headlines when he was found guilty on two counts of first-degree murder with a dangerous weapon in the 2023 slayings of Rhonda Cegelski, his 58-year-old girlfriend, and Cegelski’s best friend, Paula O’Connor, 53. Sotka was subsequently ordered to serve two consecutive life sentences without the chance for parole.
