(KNZA)-- A Holton man accused of killing his wife will stand trial on a charge of second-degree murder.
Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller tells MSC News that George Fleshman, Jr. was bound over on the charge following his preliminary hearing Wednesday.
Arraignment was scheduled for the morning of July 15th.
Fleshman is charged in the death of his 62-year-old wife, Elizabeth, at the couple’s residence last October.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says an autopsy shows she died due to trauma to the spleen.
Fleshman was arrested in March following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.
He remains free on a $75,000 bond after a judge granted a bond reduction last month over the objection of Miller.
