A macabre discovery that they did not expect. This Wednesday, January 18 in Kentucky, police identified a motorist who seemed to roll “negligently”. After turning on their sirens, they approached the vehicle. But after seeing that the officers were coming to meet him, the driver, who was at a standstill, accelerated and continued “to drive south (…) at high speed“, reports Law and Crime.
Then followed a car chase during which the police crossed three counties before managing to stop the driver. The latter was taken into custody, but the agents were not at the end of their surprises when they searched the trunk of the vehicle of the suspect, 54 years old. “Further investigation after the arrest revealed a deceased woman, which has not yet been identified with certainty, located inside the vehicle“, announced the Kentucky police.
The victim placed in a “plastic tote”
The day after this arrest, the police finally managed to identify the victim. It was actually the suspect’s companion, a 53-year-old woman from West Virginia. As Law and Crime reports, his body had been placed in a “plastic tote”. She would be died after receiving several blows to the face and body, and was also allegedly stabbed. For now, the precise circumstances of his death have yet to be determined. For his part, the defendant was charged with “domestic violence murder“, of”corpse abuse” and of “flight or evasion in the first degree”. He is currently being held at the Laurel County Correctional Center.
