Boyfriend of Homicide Victim Charged

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) - The live-in boyfriend of an Altoona woman found fatally beaten and strangled was arrested Friday.

Forty-four-year-old Gregory Gubernot is charged in Eau Claire County with first-degree intentional homicide. He was taken into custody in Forest County.

A criminal complaint says the 43-year-old victim, Theresa Still, wanted Gubernot to move out of their home, but he refused. It says Still told a co-worker at OakLeaf Medical Hospital that Gubernot had become "more and more violent and belligerent" with her.

The Eau Claire Leader-Telegram reports investigators say Still was last seen at an Altoona bar Dec. 27 after she argued with Gubernot. Still's body was found in rural Adams County on Dec. 30.
