NEW INFO: Coldwater man re-indicted in rape, murder of neighbor

A Coldwater man was re-indicted this week by a grand jury in Mercer County in connection to the death of his neighbor.

Majo is accused of raping and killing 47-year-old Sandra Renner Jan. 3 on North Elm Street in Coldwater, according to Mercer County court documents.

Majo was originally charged with one count murder, but the case was represented to a grand jury on Feb. 15, said Mike Huber, court bailiff.

Majo is now formally indicted on one count aggravated murder; two counts murder; one count rape; one count aggravated burglary; and one count aggravated robbery.

The two murder counts have a sexual motivation specification, Huber said.

The aggravated murder count carries three specifications: felony murder; murder to escape; and sexual motivation, Huber said. If Majo is found guilty of any specification, he will be eligible for the death penalty.

Majo pleaded not guilty Friday where bond remained at $1 million Friday.
