URBANA, Ill. – Prosecutors have accused three young men of the murder of a Parkland College police officer whose body was found hidden in his home Monday.

Preliminary autopsy results show Mr. McLaughlin, 45, died of multiple stab wounds. He also had blunt force injuries to the body and head, according to Champaign County Coroner Duane Northrup.
