Oundre Akins receives consecutive life sentences for Steak 'n Shake slayings
Thursday, 21 March 2013 16:50 Published in Local News
Earlier this month, Oundre Akins was convicted for robbing a Steak 'n Shake restaurant and killing two employees in 2008. Today, a judge ensured that he will never set foot outside of prison.
The judge sentences Akins to consecutive life sentences for the murders. The death penalty was taken off the table after Akins agreed to waive a jury trial. Akins' brother Anthony goes to trial in July for allegedly helping his brother in the robbery and murders.

St. Louis Police Department HQ move now expected to cost more
Thursday, 21 March 2013 08:42 Published in Around Town ST. LOUIS (AP) — The move to a new building for the St. Louis Police Department is going to be more expensive than first thought.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that bids came in more than $1.6 million over expectations. Now, the move will be delayed until early next year — nearly a year later than the original estimate.
The department received seven bids this month. The lowest was $6.3 million to retrofit a former Wells Fargo office building at 1915 Olive St. The department was expecting a cost of about $4.7 million.
Chief Sam Dotson says the awarding of a contract is on hold while officials ensure that the low bidder meets minority participation requirements.
The department's current headquarters at 1200 Clark Ave. dates to 1927 and needs extensive renovation.
