Autopsy planned for Tuesday

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

An autopsy on the body of a 25-year-old Tomahawk convenience store clerk is expected to be completed on Tuesday after an apparent robbery turns into murder in Tomahawk.

At Monday afternoon’s press conference at Tomahawk City Hall, Tomahawk Chief of Police Don Johnson stated that Rochelle Anderson of Irma was found, apparently stabbed to death on Saturday night outside the Zephyr Fuel gasoline convenience store on North Fourth Street where she was a clerk.

A weapon described as “sharp edged” was used during the murder, although Chief of Police Johnson indicated no official cause of death.

Chief Johnson stated Monday that at this time, there was nothing to give him cause to believe that the murder-robbery was a random act or other persons were in immediate danger or risk.

Meanwhile, the police tape surrounding the Zephyr Fuel location was taken down late Monday afternoon.
