PAW PAW (WKZO-AM) — The Brent Bogseth murder trial has gone to the jury.
The prosecutor claims Bogseth was angry over his wife’s affair with a neighbor, crushed her skull with his favorite hammer then hid her body in the woods near their home in northern Van Buren County just over a year ago.
The body of 32-year-old Kimberly Bogseth was found by the same neighbor who confirmed their affair on the witness stand this week.
The defense claims the evidence is circumstantial and that others also had motive.
Bogseth’s hammer has never been found.
The jury met behind closed doors for a short time yesterday and will resume deliberations this morning.
