DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Funeral services for six members of an Iowa City family will be held Saturday.
The bodies of Sheryl Sueppel and her four children were found in their home on Monday. Autopsy results show they were beaten to death.
Steven Sueppel, who police believe killed his wife and children sometime last Sunday night or Monday, died from trauma suffered in a car crash. Police say he deliberately crashed his van.
A funeral for all six members of the family will be at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Iowa City at 10 a.m. Officials say overflow will be directed to First United Methodist, a nearby church.
