Murder suspect cut self in jail

Authorities say a jailed Mexican national accused of killing five men earlier this week cut himself with a safety razor in an apparent attempt to take his own life.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Department says in a statement that 40-year-old Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino was found to have cut himself Thursday morning in his cell and was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Serrano-Vitorino was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the previous day's shooting death of 49-year-old Randy Nordman near New Florence.

Serrano-Vitorino also is charged in Kansas with four counts of first-degree murder linked to the shooting deaths Monday of his neighbor and three other men at the neighbor's home.

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said Thursday Serrano-Vitorino will be prosecuted first in Missouri.

He said that his office has been asked by Montgomery County's district attorney to assist in Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino's prosecution on a first-degree murder count related to the killing Tuesday of 49-year-old Randy Nordman.
