According to Slovak TV, the 23-year-old center, who was a sixth-round
pick of the Flyers in 2004, has been charged with stabbing referee
Marek Liptag 14 times.
Liptag’s decomposed body was reportedly
dumped in a shallow grave in a forest where it was found. The killing
is believed to have occurred months ago off a roadway near Kosice,
Slovakia, according to newspaper reports.
