Convicted Murderer From Brookfield Won't Get New Trial

State appeals court rules against man convicted of murdering girlfriend, burning her body and dumping remains in a lake.

A Brookfield man convicted of strangling his girlfriend, burning her body and then dumping the remains in Lake Winnebago in 2009 is not entitled to a new trial, the state appeals court has ruled. Brandon Mueller, 37, was sentenced in 2010 to life without the possibility of parole for murdering 28-year-old Renee Redmer in his mother's Fond du Lac apartment, the Associated Press reported.
