BROOKS — Maine state police say a woman was shot to death and her husband charged with murder.
State police and the Waldo County sheriff’s office say the 49-year-old woman’s body was found inside the couple’s ranch-style home in Brooks on Friday night.
Police went to the home just after 7 p.m. when a relative called to report the shooting.
They say the woman’s 48-year-old husband was taken into custody by troopers and deputies while sitting nearby in his truck with a friend. He’s been jailed in Belfast and is expected to appear in court Monday or Tuesday.
A rifle believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered.
