CORALVILLE (AP) - An eastern Iowa bank is seeking more than $556,000 from the estate of man who was accused of embezzling before he killed his family and then himself in March.

According to a claim filed this week in Johnson County District Court, Hills Bank & Trust is seeking the money from the estate of Steven Sueppel.

The claim says the bank is also asking for more than $32,000 in loans Sueppel owed it.

Sueppel was accused of embezzling more than $559,000 from the bank from July 26, 2000, to Sept. 12, 2007. He was a former vice president and controller at the bank.

Police say the 42-year-old Iowa City man beat to death his wife and their four children before killing himself.
