READ CHARGES: Prosecutors Say Man Tried to Kill Fetus, Beat Woman in Fridley

Anoka County prosecutors say a Fridley home was the scene of "shocking" crimes last week—a man beating his pregnant ex-girlfriend and trying to kill the fetus she was carrying.

Kenneth Lakewood Turner faces two counts: Attempted murder in the first degree of an unborn child, and domestic assault. He remains in jail with bail set at $500,000 bail. His next court date is May 14, 2012.

Look for a separate post soon at Fridley Patch with comments from Fridley police, the Anoka County Attorney, and Turner's public defender.

Note: The original complaint identified the woman's initials and gave her home address as the site where prosecutors say the crimes took place. Patch has redacted those pieces of identifying information to protect the privacy of the alleged domestic abuse victim.
