Man charged in fatal beating
Police: Suspect found other man in bed with his live-in girlfriend
BY JIM HANNAH | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
FORT MITCHELL - A hotel manager is charged in the beating death of another man after prosecutors say he came home to find his girlfriend in bed with her co-worker.
Troy Ruyten, 31, of Fort Mitchell will appear in Kenton District Court this morning on a charge of murder. He remained at the county jail Thursday night on no bond.
"This guy came home and found another gentleman with his significant other and caused his death," said Ken Easterling, chief prosecutor in the Kenton County Attorney's Office.
Ruyten beat Augusto Kosien Jr. to death with his fists, said Fort Mitchell police Sgt. Tom Loos.
Investigators say Ruyten returned to his rental home on West Maple Avenue Monday evening to find his 20-year-old live-in girlfriend, Natialie Bulmer, with Kosien. Both worked at the Hofbrauhaus microbrewery in Newport.
More than a dozen teary-eyed workers at the Hofbrauhaus gathered around a television behind the bar to watch news accounts of the homicide.
Kosien had worked at the microbrewery since it opened and had trained most of the servers. Kosien, of the 300 block of Washington Street in Newport, was well known in the city and previously worked at The Syndicate restaurant.
Loos said Kosien had a daughter with his estranged wife.
After the assault, Bulmer drove Kosien to St. Luke Hospital West in Florence, Loos said. There, emergency room staff found Kosien unconscious in a car outside the door. Hospital officials called Fort Mitchell police at 7:30 p.m. to report the assault and transferred Kosien to the trauma center at University Hospital.
He never regained consciousness and died of brain injuries sometime after 3 a.m. Thursday.
Easterling said Ruyten arrived at the Kenton County Courthouse Thursday with two attorneys and a courtroom full of family and friends thinking he was going to be arraigned on an assault charge. Instead, he was informed Kosien had died, was taken into custody, and charged with murder.
Neighbors of Ruyten and Bulmer gathered on their doorsteps Thursday evening to talk about the death.
"I never took the time to get to know them because they lived in a rental house," said Jeff Jackson, 44, who lives on West Maple, a quiet cul-de-sac with picturesque homes and manicured lawns. "Anyone at the house is usually there only six months, maybe a year at the most."
Loos said police had made no prior runs to the home since Ruyten moved in.
Ruyten managed a Homewood Suites by Hilton in Fairborn, Ohio, northeast of Dayton. A Hilton spokeswoman said she didn't know enough details to comment.
