KANSAS CITY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A trial has been delayed until Oct. 3 for Garland Nelson on federal fraud charges related to business dealings with two Shawano County brothers, before he allegedly killed them. And, Nelson’s motion to suppress evidence in the case has been denied.
Nelson is charged in Missouri state court for allegedly killing Nick and Justin Diemel in 2019 and hiding their bodies. His trial on those charges is scheduled for Feb. 6.
Nelson also faces two federal charges: mail fraud and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The trial had been scheduled to start Monday, but was recently pushed back to Oct. 3, court records show.
Nelson challenged the affidavit leading to the warrant underlying his above arrest as misleading and omitting relevant facts, but a judge rejected those arguments.
Nelson allegedly killed Nick and Justin Diemel, who went to Nelson’s farm in northwestern Missouri related to the cattle business. Court documents allege Nelson fatally shot the brothers who came to collect a $250,000 check.
Motion filed by man charged with killing Shawano County brothers to suppress evidence in fraud denied.
