(09/13/11) - A Buena Vista Township police officer is behind bars charged with killing a pregnant woman.
Officer Kenneth Bluew, 36, was formally charged in Saginaw County District Court Tuesday morning.
Bluew faces four felony charges, including the most serious offense of first degree premeditated murder.
He is also charged with intentional conduct against a pregnant individual resulting in death, miscarriage or stillbirth to a fetus or embryo, and two counts of felony firearms.
Bluew is accused of killing 32-year-old Jennifer Webb on Aug. 30. Her body was found near a gun range in Buena Vista Township the following day.
Webb was eight months pregnant, and friends tell us she was carrying Bluew's child, a boy to be named Braxton.
Prosecutor Mike Thomas reports Bluew was on duty when the crime took place, and confirms Bluew was at the scene of the murder when another officer found Webb's body.
Thomas says Webb was strangled to death.
He goes on to say Bluew was arrested Monday night after investigators got some DNA-related lab results back from the Michigan State Police Crime Lab.
He then was taken to the Saginaw County Jail, but because of his status as a police officer in the county, it was decided to move Bluew to Bay County for the night.
It's unclear where he'll be housed moving forward.
Bluew is suspended from the Buena Vista Township Police Department at this time.
"The principle upset in this case is the fact that we lost a 32-year-old citizen and a child that could have been born alive and lost their life experiences also. I mean that's the tragedy in this case," said Thomas.
Bluew will be back in court later this month
He aint a man no matter how mad you get at a woman you should never put your hands on one ESPECIALLY a pregnant one. he deserve everything he get.
