A Lyons man charged in the death of his girlfriend has a brother who has been convicted in a separate murder in Barton County.

Prosecutors charged 35-year-old Armando Mosqueda with
first-degree murder Monday in the death of 31-year-old Jeannie
Jacobsen of Lyons. She was found stabbed to death on Sunday.

Mosqueda's brother, 31-year-old Antonio Mosqueda Jr. of Great
Bend, pleaded guilty in September to second-degree murder in Barton
County in the August 2008 shooting death of 30-year-old Jose L.
Villanueva Jr. He is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday.

Antonio Mosqueda was accused of killing Villanueva on Aug. 12,
2008, after a night of drinking with friends. Investigators have
not been able to determine a motive for the slaying.
