A man from Savage, Minnesota, stands accused of murdering his uncle, a former mayor in the city of Janesville, and severely injured his aunt in a brutal assault involving a large chef’s knife, “a metal bar, and a partial nunchuck.”

Adam Garrett Roring, a 44-year-old with misdemeanor convictions on his record for speeding and driving without a license, now faces a murder and attempted murder case in the death of 74-year-old Mark Novak and wounding of Pamela Novak.

The couple, who had been married for more than 50 years, awoke in the early morning hours last Thursday in their 105th Street home in Bloomington to a man, allegedly Roring, “who kept beating them with an unknown object.”
