Lawrence commissioners back nuisance, keg rules plan

Slavemaster linked to five women deaths in Midwest
Authorities pursue a link between the deaths of five women whose bodies were found in 55-gallon barrels in Kansas and Missouri. The suspect, John Edward Robinson Sr., allegedly met victims in sex chat rooms and called himself a slavemaster. Police found three barrels in Raymore after tracing a storage locker from his mobile home in Olathe, and two more were found on property in La Cygne. Robinson faces separate charges in Kansas hotels but has not been charged with the murders. Prosecutors contemplate possible death-penalty actions amid ongoing investigations and a pond draining at the La Cygne site.
