Prosecutors charged 35-year-old Armando Mosqueda with first-degree murder Monday in the death of 31-year-old Jeannie Jacobsen of Lyons. She was found stabbed to death on Sunday.

Mosqueda's brother, 31-year-old Antonio Mosqueda Jr. of Great Bend, pleaded guilty in September to second-degree murder in Barton County in the August 2008 shooting death of 30-year-old Jose L. Villanueva Jr. He is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday.
