CHICAGO -- A cable contractor has been charged in the death of a nurse who was found dead in her bathtub last October, and they suspect him in a similar slaying that occurred last Friday.
The body of 39-year-old nurse Janice Ordidge was found in her bathtub in October. An autopsy determined she was strangled and the death was ruled a homicide, according to a report from the medical examiner’s office.
Police say Anthony Triplett, 25, is in custody and charged with first-degree murder, criminal aggravated sexual assault, and residential burglary. More charges might stem from another homicide discovered last Friday.
The body of 23-year-old Urzula Sakowska was found nude in her bathtub in her home on the 6100 block of South McVicker Avenue either neighbors or friends, according to police news affairs officer Kelly Liakopoulos. Sakowska, whose mouth was duct-taped, was pronounced dead at the scene and an autopsy found that she died from suffocation and strangulation, according to a medical examiner's office spokesman.
According to the sergeant, police were suspicious of Triplett's alleged involvement because a white cable truck or van was seen at the time of the deaths.
Comcast spokesperson Rich Ruggiero said the man was contracted through a company called Premier, and was suspended on Dec. 10, two days after the slaying.
"We wish to express our sympathy for the family impacted by this tragedy," said Comcast in a statement Wednesday. "We are cooperating fully with Chicago Police as they conduct their investigation."
