Investigation
DOVER, Del. (AP) - Federal prosecutors are investigating the activities of a man who killed his former daughter-in-law and another woman at a Delaware courthouse last month before taking his own life.
Relatives of Thomas Matusiewicz testified before a federal grand jury last week. Prosecutors are seeking to revoke the probation of his son, David Matusiewicz, on federal fraud and kidnapping charges for abducting his three daughters.
Thomas Kula, the brother-in-law of Thomas Matusiewicz, told The Associated Press that prosecutors seem to want to prove that, in traveling from Texas to Delaware with his father, David Matusiewicz knowingly violated a prohibition from being around guns.
David Matusiewicz pleaded guilty in 2009 to fleeing to Nicaragua in a motor home with his daughters amid a custody dispute. He was released from prison last year.
Video
Meanwhile, the Wilmington News Journal reports that a new video by the mother of David Matusiewicz, son of the courthouse shooter in New Castle says a federal grand jury is investigating her son.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that prosecutors would not comment yesterday.
But the paper reports that given court documents it is likely an indictment is under consideration for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
That’s a crime that brings a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
The video is nearly 60 minutes long.
68 year old Lenore Matusiewicz said she was set to testify before a federal grand jury in Wilmington on March 6th.
She said that her brother Tom Kula and his 18 year-old daughter were also scheduled to appear.
Kula’s wife, M’Linda, said that her family sought custody of the three daughters…whom David Matusiewicz had with his former wife, Christine Belford.
She and a friend was killed by the father in the shooting.
