GOLDEN, Colo. — A man convicted of the fatal shooting of a University of Utah student has been extradited to Colorado to face additional charges in connection with the 2017 killing of a Golden man.
Austin Jeffery Boutain, 25, returned to Colorado Wednesday and is now being held at the Jefferson County jail, the First Judicial District said.
Boutain is expected to appear in court in the next few days to be advised of the 19 counts filed by the District Attorney’s Office, including two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated robbery, and aggravated motor vehicle theft.
On October 31, 2017 Golden police were dispatched to the Clear Creek RV Park on a welfare check. According to the arrest affidavit, they found Ingle deceased in his RV. They also found that Ingle’s vehicle and some of his property was missing.
Authorities say Boutain slit Ingle's throat while they partied together because he believed Ingle flirted with his wife, Kathleen Boutain.
“He was taken from us unexpectedly and will forever be in our memories,” Ingle's family said in a statement back in 2017.
You can read the full statement below:
Mitchell Ingle was a loving father, brother, husband, grandfather, and friend to all. He enjoyed skiing, boating, four wheeling, and camping. We will miss his contagious laugh, humor, and easygoing personality. He was taken from us unexpectedly and will forever be in our memories. We would like to thank everyone for their gifts, thoughts, and prayers. We would ask that you give us time to grieve and process the loss of our loved one. We request our privacy during this difficult time.
Kathleen Boutain has been charged with 20 counts in the death of Mr. Ingle. Her extradition is pending.
Police say the Boutains drove Ingle's vehicle to Salt Lake City, where Austin Boutain killed student ChenWei Guo.
Boutain pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and was sentenced to life in prison for Guo's death.
