Man accused of killing Beaverton nurse was deliberately cruel, DA says [Video]

HILLSBORO Ore. (KPTV) – Prosecutors are seeking a more severe sentence against the man accused of murdering a Beaverton nurse, according to recently released court documents.

Melissa Jubane, a 32-year-old nurse at Providence St. Vincent, had been married just weeks before she was reported missing. Two days later on Sept. 4., she was found dead.

A neighbor in her Beaverton apartment building, 27-year-old Bryce Schubert, was arrested for her murder.
