Police in southeastern Kansas say a request to check on the welfare of a person in Coffeyville led officers to discover the body of a man inside a home. The man’s death has now been determined to be a homicide.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in a news release that Coffeyville officers went to the home Wednesday evening and discovered the man’s body. Officials say the victim won’t be identified for some time because of the advanced state of decomposition of the body.
The KBI was asked to help following the discovery of the body. A 37-year-old Coffeyville woman was arrested Friday in connection with the case. She was arrested for burglary, theft, forgery and criminal use of a credit card. She is being held in the Montgomery County jail.
