Kuester ordered to year in Mendota

November 1, 2013 By WRN Contributor

kuesterA Waukesha man accused of killing three Lafayette County residents in April, has been ordered to spend up to a year at the state’s Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison. Jaren Kuester has been ordered in Lafayette County Court to spend a year at Mendota, with a review every three months. He’s also been found not competent to refuse medications, and could be ordered by the court to take medications if he refuses. A status conference has been set for November 25th.

The court orders come after an apparent plea deal in the case was put on hold in September. In June, the 31-year-old Kuester had pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to charges including first degree intentional homicide.

Kuester allegedly used a fireplace poker to club to death 76-year-old Dean Thoreson, his 70-year-old brother Gary Thoreson and Gary’s wife, 66-year-old Chloe Thoreson, on April 27 at the Thoreson couple’s Town of Wyota residence.
