FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - Prosecutors have filed a notice seeking the death penalty for a man accused of killing his ex-wife’s boyfriend.

The Casa Grande Dispatch reported (https://bit.ly/2qlxX3j ) Friday that prosecutors believe the killing of 25-year-old Cody Virgin was done in a “cold, calculated” manner and warrants the death penalty.

The suspect, 26-year-old William Randolph, had been arrested in February on suspicion of killing Virgin and then disposing of his burned body.

He is accused of using a fake Facebook page to message Virgin and lure him to the area where he had been killed.

Randolph has been charged with first-degree murder for Virgin’s death and aggravated harassment after being accused of instructing family members to harass his former wife while he is in jail.
