Husband shoves plate down wifes throat?

Patrick M. Zurkowski, a 38-year-old man was charged Monday in Marathon County court with the murder of his wife after authorities suspect he suffocated her by shoving a ceramic Easter bunny-shaped plate down her throat.

The autopsy revealed the ears of the Easter bunny plate had broken off and were lodged in her throat, blocking her airway in a brutal death that could have taken 10 to 20 minutes, Heimerman said. A significant amount of blood was found in June Zurkowski's lungs and her stomach. She had a cut on her tongue, according to the police department.
Investigators believe the ceramic pieces found in her throat match an Easter plate found in the Zurkowski home that was missing the ears of a bunny. When police arrived at the scene Friday, Patrick Zurkowski refused to answer questions and was unresponsive, Spencer Police Chief Bill Hoes said.

Hoes said Zurkowski refused to move from a chair inside the home when police wanted to take him to the station to interview him. He was hit with a Taser twice after he kicked at officers, Hoes said.

Authorities had to remove him physically from his house and a squad car once they arrived at the jail on Friday, where he remained through the weekend. Judge Vincent Howard set his bond at $1 million cash at an initial appearance Monday in court. If convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, Zurkowski faces life in prison.
