Man charged with murder in wife's disappearance now also accused of taking her money

The last time anyone heard from Olga Konnikova was back in January. Six months later in June, Ottawa police said her disappearance was suspicious and charged her husband Viktor Konnikov with first-degree murder. Her body had not been found. Last month, as a bail hearing for Konnikov began, Ottawa police filed a second set of charges against him. He's accused of fraudulently obtaining a computer service from his wife's estate, fraudulently using a computer password to commit an offense, and possessing and trafficking proceeds obtained by crime. The financial offenses are alleged to have happened in the two months before Konnikov was arrested in June. None of the allegations against him has been proven. On Friday, Konnikov was denied bail by a Superior Court judge. He crossed his arms in the prisoner's box while a Russian interpreter translated for his two proposed sureties. The reasons for the judge to deny bail and the evidence outlined to support that decision are subject to a routine publication ban. Konnikov remains in jail. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for next year. Kristi Nies, CBC News, Ottawa.
