(Marquette, NE) -- A Marquette, NE man is charged with murder in the death of his wife.
The Nebraska State Patrol says around 12:45 Sunday afternoon, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call to a Marquette home. Once on the scene, deputies found 49 year old Angela Adams dead inside the house. The NSP says investigators learned that Adams had been with her husband, Jeffrey Adams, Saturday evening but he was not at the home when deputies arrived to investigate. NSP says a short time later, 47 year old Jeffrey Adams arrived at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office to turn himself in. He was arrested by Nebraska State Patrol investigators, who had been called in to assist with the case.
The state patrol says investigators have determined that the incident began with an argument, during which Jeffrey hit Angela multiple times. Jeffrey Adams then left the home. Adams is being held at the Hamilton County Jail for second degree murder. The investigation remains ongoing.
