Christian Kane
FOLEY, Minn. (KFGO/WJON) – A St. Cloud man has pleaded guilty to 1st-degree attempted murder, just moments after a Benton County judge ruled him competent to face the charge.
Christian Kane, 20, pleaded guilty in a murder-for-hire case in Sauk Rapids.
Kane is accused of stabbing a man in his garage at the direction of the man’s wife, Maria Foster, 55. Foster and Kane’s wife, 25-year-old Katrina Hunt, are also charged in the case. Their cases are still moving through the court system.
Court records show Foster picked up her husband from the airport and had him sit in a specific chair in the garage. When she went to get him coffee, Kane came at the husband from behind and stabbed him multiple times in the chest, neck, and back.
Kane said Foster had told him that her husband was abusive and she wanted Kane to kill him. She allegedly told Kane that he and Hunt could move into the house once her husband was dead. Foster also allegedly said they could have all of her husband’s belongings once he was dead.
Kane will be sentenced on Feb. 24.
