Mother charged in beating death
A mother and her male friend were indicted by the grand jury Wednesday on second-degree murder charges in the beating death of a 76-year-old man.
Jennifer Hatfield-Streeval, 33, and John Eugene Moncier, 29, face the charges after police say they dragged Garner Lee Isbill down concrete steps at the Lee Highway Motel 6 and stripped him, beat him and left him bleeding.
Isbill died two months after the March 18, 2012, alleged attack.
Streeval told police that her daughter had told her that Isbill had molested her.
Isbill’s daughter Yvonne Trammell said after a previous court hearing that she didn’t believe the allegations against her father. Police testified that there was no evidence Isbill had molested the girl.
