OAKLAND COUNTY (WWJ) - An attorney and alleged mastermind behind a popular Oakland County jewelry owner's death has been arrested and charged with murder, authorities announced on Friday.
Attorney Marco Bisbikis, 38, was arrested around 5 a.m. Nov. 4 on murder and weapons charges connected to the homicide of Dan "Hutch" Hutchinson, 47, the owner of Hutch's Jewelry, WWJ's Charlie Langton reports.
Investigators allege Bisbikis, a Novi resident and lawyer based out of Southeast Michigan, plotted the murder of the popular jeweler back in June after writing himself into Hutchinson's will.
Three other suspects have already been charged in the case.
Bisbikis was arraigned in Oak Park District Court on charges including premeditated murder, felony firearm and conspiracy to commit murder on Friday.
Judge Michelle Friedman Appel denied his bond after Bisbikis was deemed a flight risk.
As reported by FOX 2, Bisbikis has deceived others before, including a elderly Detroit man who filed a civil suit against him after Bisbikis was supposedly conned the senior into deeding over several properties in Detroit and in Washtenaw County.
Several months later, the elderly man died inside of his home under what those close him say were suspicious circumstances.
The man's death was said to have been cased by natural causes after an autopsy and the civil suit was eventually settled.
