ROCHESTER, Minn. — A jury found Mustafa Bush, 41, guilty of murdering an Eyota woman around Christmas 2022 and dumping her body down a steep snowy ravine northwest of Rochester. The jury deliberated only four hours. Bush was found guilty of first-degree murder a while committing domestic abuse. The verdict carries a presumptive life sentence. Was Bush guilty of premeditation? No, the jury said. Prosecutor Mark Ostrem asked Judge Douglas Bayley to delay sentencing until the family of the victim, Kimberly Ann Robinson, has time to digest the verdict and prepare sentencing recommendations. Meanwhile, the judge ordered Bush be held without bail.
