On Wednesday, November 5th a $500,000 bail was set for a woman, Kristina Dorniden, 29, charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder, accused of helping her boyfriend and his sister kill their brother before burning his body in a rural Minnesota fire pit. She is in the Anoka County Jail right now awaiting her trial. Bail will be set later in the week for Dorniden's boyfriend, Andrew Hawes, 36, and his sister, Elizabeth Hawes, 43. The three are accused of plotting the death of Edwin Hawes, 46, who was allegedly shot with a crossbow, beaten with a bat and run over at his home in Andover before his body was taken across the state and thrown into a firepit. Hawes was identified by dental records. Authorities say a longstanding family feud over money and accusations of embezzlement from the family business were motives.
