A DeKalb man is still behind bars after being charged with aggravated domestic battery, first degree murder and concealment of a homicide on June 5.

The charges came after an incident that occurred late on the night of June 3 — 20-year old Michael Kulpin reportedly got into an altercation with 19-year old girlfriend Moorea Desroches, which led to Kulpin stabbing Desroches multiple times before wrapping her body up and hiding it in a closet of their apartment, located on the 900 block of Kimberly Drive.

Desroches’ body wasn’t found until June 5 when authorities searched the apartment at the request of her mother, who reportedly claimed that her daughter hadn’t shown up for work. Desroches and Kulpin had a child together and were engaged, according to Desroches’ Facebook account. The couple’s child is in custody of its grandparents.

There were two other people at the apartment at the time of the arrest, but neither of them were charged, nor were they suspected to be of any involvement in the murder.

Kulpin’s initial bond was set at $2 million by judge Philip Montgomery and the amount was maintained at Kulpin’s first court date. The defendant reportedly scored a 9 out of 9 on a pre-trial report, meaning his chances of offending again were very high.

If released on bail, Kulpin would be restricted from any contact with his child or the victim’s parents, and would be forced to yield to GPS monitoring. Kulpin reportedly announced having no source of income on top of owing car and towing payments.

There were also two previous cases that he failed to show up to court for. He had only lived on Kimberly for three months.

Kulpin’s last Facebook post would suggest he and Desroches’ relationship may not have been on the best of terms — on May 31, he posted a status claiming that “All people want/need in a relationship is true honesty but why does it always seem to be easier to lie than to be true and loyal. As people of society we all know true right from wrong but we always turn to the bad instead of good because wrong always felt better. I guess thats why we lie — especially to the ones we claim to love the most.”

There was only one reported homicide in DeKalb in 2015 and 134 aggravated domestic batteries/assaults. Kulpin’s case was referred to another agency. He must pay 10 percent of his bond to be released.
