South Carolina prosecutors want to test the handwriting of a man suspected of murdering his brother, after finding a note resembling a to-do list with instructions such as burning evidence and removing surveillance camera footage.

David Perry, 51, was found slain inside a Charleston, S.C., warehouse on Dec. 18, shortly after he was reported missing, according to reporting by The Post and Courier, ABC 4 and WCSC.

David's fiancé, Alexandra Fisher Muller, said during a court appearance on Thursday, Feb. 6, that he was killed just a week before the couple was set to get married, WCSC reported.

His brother, 54-year-old Charles Perry, has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the killing, as well as weapons possession.

David was reported missing earlier on Dec. 18, prompting a welfare check at the warehouse he co-owned with his brother, the outlets reported.

During their check, officials found David fatally shot inside the facility, North Charleston police said in a statement.

In court on Thursday, prosecutors unveiled a note that resembled a to-do list with instructions to burn clothes, switch off security footage and hide a gun, The Post and Courier, ABC 4 and WCSC reported.

The note also had other words, such as "Unique Pants, Unique Shirt-longsleeve, Unique Socks" and "Hammer," ABC 4 reported, citing an affidavit.

Charles was ordered on Friday to provide handwriting samples for the investigation, according to online case information reviewed by PEOPLE.
