METAMORA TOWNSHIP, Mich. – The couple that owns two dogs that killed 46-year-old jogger Craig Sytsma was in court for their arraignment Friday morning.

Prosecutors have filed second-degree murder charges against a couple they say owned two dogs that fatally mauled a 46-year-old jogger in rural Michigan.

Lapeer County Prosecutor Tim Turkelson issued the warrants Thursday against 45-year-old Sebastiano Quagliata and 44-year-old Valbona Lucaj. They're also charged with possessing a dangerous animal causing death.

According to published reports, federal authorities say the couple are Albanians living in the U.S. illegally and facing deportation.
