FAIRBURY — Testimony is under way in the trial of a Jefferson County woman accused of beating her husband to death.
Susan DeJong, 55, is charged with first-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony in the death of Thomas DeJong, 52, at their home west of Fairbury in March 2011.
County Attorney Linda Bauer told jurors Tuesday that Susan DeJong became obsessed with suspicions that her husband was having an affair. Defense attorney James Mowbray said the evidence doesn't mean that it's proof of the charges against DeJong.
The trial in Fairbury is expected to last through the week. — AP
