A jury delivered a guilty verdict Thursday, September 14, in the Grant County murder trial of Michael Swan. Swan, age 63, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of his wife, 77-year-old Angelina Swan, at the couple’s Milbank apartment on October 24, 2016.

Swan was charged with one count of second-degree murder on November 4, 2016, and entered a formal plea of not guilty. He is being held in the Grant County Detention Center without bond and will remain there until he is sentenced. Swan is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday, October 31, in the Grant County Courthouse.

“There is only one sentence he can receive,” said States Attorney Mark Reedstrom. “That is life in prison.”
