MUNFORDVILLE, Ky. — Police in Lexington, Ky., late Monday obtained an arrest warrant charging prominent Kentucky Republican politician Steve Nunn with murder in the slaying of his former fiancee, Amanda Ross.

Nunn, 56, was also charged with violation of a protective order. The warrants were served on Nunn at the Hart County jail here, police said.

Nunn, the son of former Gov. Louie B. Nunn, a one-time gubernatorial himself, a former member of the state cabinet and a former state legislator, had been in the Medical Center at Bowling Green, Ky., since Friday, when police found him in a Hart County cemetery with his wrists slit just hours after Ross was shot to death in Lexington.
