Flyer prospect Ladislav Scurko has been accused of murdering a hockey referee over failure to repay a debt.

According to Slovak TV, the 23-year-old center, who was a sixth-round pick of the Flyers in 2004, has been charged with stabbing referee Marek Liptag 14 times.

Liptag’s decomposed body was reportedly dumped in a shallow grave in a forest where it was found. The killing is believed to have occurred months ago off a roadway near Kosice, Slovakia, according to newspaper reports.

Scurko, who is Slovakian, played briefly for former Flyer general manager Russ Farwell in Seattle.

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said the club was withholding comment until more information was known

More of a player who was drafted then a prospect.

This really came as a shock to me. With him being a former Thunderbird, and having watched him play, I was stunned when I heard the news.

Love how ONE year of a few bad incidents qualifies the Flyers as a team that's full of murderers.

When the local shock jock Mark Madden told Mario Lemieux about this his reply reportedly was "Did he move up the depth chart?"

This isnt in writing but was reported over the radio... Funny if true!

Not going to contest it, but when you actually have been around the kid and know him decently, things tend to hit a little closer to home. Especially ignorance in something like this from someone who doesn't know a damn thing about the guy. However, I digress...

I don't care if he's your brother.

Given the reputation of the franchise over the last 30+ years, it was a given that someone would make that comment. Rather than dispel the notion of him being that type of guy, you wade in with inflammatory language that adds nothing productive.
