WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The murder trial of the leader of a Kansas commune that lived off the life insurance payouts from dead members is wrapping up this week.

Closing arguments are scheduled for Tuesday in the trial of 55-year-old Daniel Perez. He faces more than 35 charges, including first-degree premeditated murder in the 2003 drowning death of 26-year-old Patricia Hughes at the group’s compound in the Wichita suburb of Valley Center. Her death was considered an accident for several years.

During the trial, several women testified that Perez, who was called Lou Castro, coerced them into sexual encounters when they were underage. Others testified about millions of dollars in life insurance policies sold to people associated with Perez who later died.

Perez testified and denied all the allegations.
