A woman is dead after a brutal assault at her workplace in Cokato, and a male coworker is charged with the killing.
Wright County Attorney Brian Lutes said in a statement, “I will evaluate this case for a possible charge of 1st degree premeditated murder which requires convening a grand jury.”
Court documents say surveillance video from the workplace shows Delong leaving his work station and walking up to Czech's work station. He is seen grabbing a sledgehammer and hitting Czech forcefully in the head, and then striking her four more times as she lay on the ground.
After deputies advised him of his rights, Delong allegedly told them he intended to kill 20-year-old Amber Czech, did not like her, and had planned the attack for some time.
A GoFundMe has been set up for the family of Amber Czech to help pay for her funeral costs and ease their financial burden as they deal with her untimely death. A memorial fund has also been set up at SouthPointBank, where donations can be given directly to the Amber Czech Memorial Fund.
