AP) — A south-central Kansas woman has been charged with killing a man and leaving his body to decompose for weeks on her property.
54-year-old Susan May made her first appearance Wednesday on charges that include first-degree murder. Prosecutors allege that May intentionally shot 55-year-old Richard Hrejsa around Sept. 18.
His decomposing body was found Monday evening after authorities were called to May’s home near Augusta for a welfare check.
May also is charged with trying to keep law enforcement from finding out or investigating Hresja’s death and deliberately trying to keep a deputy from serving a legal warrant.
Bond is set at $250,000. No information about the case is listed in online court records, and it’s not immediately clear if May has an attorney.
