UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio (WTVG) - The deadly machete attack on a Dollar Tree employee in Upper Sandusky was random, prosecutors said in court.
Bethel Bekele, 27, is facing a murder charge for allegedly attacking and killing Keris Riebel, 22, with a machete on Sunday.
The Wyandot County Prosecuting Attorney said there is no known relationship between Bekele and Riebel, calling the attack “random, sudden, and unprovoked.” He also said Bekele allegedly continued to attack Riebel as she was on the ground. Officials have not released a motive.
According to police records, officers responded to the Dollar Tree on East Wyandot Avenue in Upper Sandusky around 4:30pm on New Year’s Day. Witnesses told officers the woman was dead in the store and that the suspect had left in a red or maroon colored SUV, traveling westbound on E. Wyandot Ave.
Police said Bekele drove himself to the Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office and turned himself in. Court documents allege Bekele admitted to attacking the victim in an interview with detectives.
Several agencies are investigating the attack, including the Upper Sandusky Police Department, the Wyandot County Major Crimes Unit, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations. Court documents said investigators were able to obtain surveillance footage that shows the attack.
