LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - A Leavenworth woman is among two women facing a charge of first-degree murder in the death of a 34-year-old Eudora man whose body was found inside a burning house near Lawrence.
The Douglas County District Attorney said 37-year-old Christina Towell along with 38-year-old Tria Evans, of Lawrence, were charged Thursday. They are being held on $1 million bond.
Joel Wales was found dead Nov. 3 in the home south of Lawrence. The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Evans is the mother of Wales' child, and the two had several past domestic disputes.
Towell does not have a record in the Douglas County court.
The sheriff's office said it would not release further information about the homicide while the investigation is ongoing.
