HUDSON, Wis. – A Twin Cities manufacturing engineer, Nicolae Miu, was sentenced to 45 years in prison for a 2022 knifing attack on tubers on the Apple River, including one tuber who died. Judge R. Michael Waterman said the murder charge alone could have meant a 45-year sentence max under judicial guidelines but he settled on 20 years. In total, however, the sentence came to 45 years with the other convictions from the bloody attacks. Miu is 54 years old. With good behavior, he could be released by age 72. Judge Waterman acknowledged that Miu had lived a positive life but departed downward on that day on the Apple River. Mie was convicted by a St. Croix County jury in April for the murder of 17-year-old Isaac Schuman and stabbing four others. The incident was on the river in July 2022.
