Attorney General Steve Six announced today Kenneth Eugene Wilson of Salina was charged with premeditated first-degree murder in connection with the March murder of Jeffrey Scott Noel.
The state alleges Wilson burglarized Noel’s home in Osborne County, took the victim’s cell phone and $50, then fatally shot him with the victim’s own gun.
Wilson was charged with one count first-degree murder, one count aggravated burglary, one count burglary of a residence, and one count felony possession of a firearm.
“Osborne County Sheriff Curtis Miner, County Attorney Paul Gregory, the KBI and all local law enforcement have done an excellent job on this case,” Six said. “We will continue to work together closely as the case moves forward.”
Wilson will have his first appearance in court at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Wilson is incarcerated at Ellsworth Correctional Facility.
