A 28-year-old Mankato man is facing a felony murder charge after he allegedly stabbed a Kwik Trip worker 43 times.

Dennis Vosika, 34, of Mankato, was found lying unresponsive on the floor when police officers, responding to a disturbance at the store, arrived at the Kwik Trip shortly after 3 a.m. Vosika died of multiple stab wounds at the Mankato hospital, authorities said.

The suspect told police that he went to the store with a knife and a lighter because “God is telling me,” the charging document said.
