LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — A 31-year-old Leavenworth woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of her husband.
Alexandra Gilson made her first court appearance Monday. She is charged with killing 37-year-old Joshua Gilson, whose body was found Friday after officers went to a Leavenworth home.
Police did not say how Gilson died but police Chief Pat Kitchens says domestic violence is the focus of the investigation.
Three young children at the home were placed with relatives.
Prosecutors say Jeffery Samulczyk was charged with interference with law enforcement related to the case. Court records indicate Joshua Gilson had filed for divorce but asked that the case be dismissed last week.
