GLENCOE, Ala. (AP) – Authorities say two brothers have been charged with murder in a woman’s death in Alabama.
News outlets report 33-year-old Timothy Putman and 39-year-old Tony Putman were arrested Monday by Glencoe police in the killing of 26-year-old Kelsey Abigail Williams.
Police Detective Kenon McKenzie tells The Gadsden Times that Timothy Putman was in a relationship with Williams.
Authorities say she died of blunt force trauma. Her body was discovered burned beyond recognition on June 2 off a highway near the Calhoun-Etowah county line.
A week later, police in Wellington found Williams’ van, which was also burned. Calhoun County Coroner Pat Brown says remains found inside are expected to be hers.
