MADISON, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — The man accused of killing a Marshfield woman in Madison in 2008 will stand trial.
David Kahl is accused of killing Brittany Zimmermann when she was a student at UW-Madison in the late 2000s. A criminal complaint states Kahl got into the 21-year-old’s downtown apartment in April 2008 and killed her.
The complaint says Kahl’s DNA matches DNA lifted from evidence at the crime scene. Authorities say Kahl had approached strangers on the day of the murder asking for money. He told the strangers that he needed funds for car repairs but was instead intending to buy drugs.
Kahl is charged in Dane County Circuit Court with First Degree Intentional Homicide as party to a crime and by use of a dangerous weapon. No trial dates have been set at this time.
