BANGOR — A 48-year-old Bangor woman has made her first court appearance on charges of killing her husband.

Roxanne Jeskey did not enter a plea today while appearing in Penobscot County Superior Court. She is charged with murder in the June 13 death of her husband, 53-year-old Richard Jeskey.

A police affidavit says Richard Jeskey’s body was found in a bathtub with signs of trauma to his groin, upper torso, face and head. Police say he’d been beaten and strangled by his wife.

Police say Roxanne Jeskey told investigators she and her husband had fought after he had a phone conversation with an ex-girlfriend.
