INDIANAPOLIS — Authorities say a 21-year-old soldier who flew from Colorado to Indiana and allegedly killed his wife, then fled to Thailand, is now wanted for military desertion. Prosecutors in Indiana filed murder charges Wednesday against Peter Van Bawi Lian for the death of Khuang Par, whose body was found in an Indianapolis trash bin on Dec. 23. Indianapolis police say Lian is on active duty with the U.S. Army. Flight records show Lian flew to Bangkok, Thailand, on Dec. 24. The Indianapolis Star reports Lian was due back at Fort Carson on Dec. 26 but didn’t return.
