Aurora man indicted in wife's death
A former Aurora man has been indicted for killing his wife nearly 20 years ago, according to the Kane County state's attorney.
Aurelio Montano, 52, was indicted Tuesday by a Kane County grand jury on two counts of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, 35-year-old Maria Guadalupe Montano, in July 1990 in Aurora, according to a news release put out by the state's attorney's office.
After the indictment, a warrant for Montano's arrest was issued, and bail was set at $500,000.
Montano is serving a life sentence in Stateville Correctional Center for the June 1996 murders of Juan Medina and Claudia Ramos in Aurora, according to the release. Montano's first court appearance in Kane County on the charges relating to his wife's death has not been determined.
