    Manhattan man indicted on capital murder charge in Mississippi

    By KMAN Staff on January 7, 2016 Local News, Manhattan, Riley County

    A Manhattan man has been arrested in the case of his wife’s stabbing death in Mississippi.

    Riley County police took 34-year-old Edward Alexander Broom, into custody Tuesday on a warrant for extradition to Leflore County, Mississippi.

    Broom was indicted there Monday on a capital murder charge in the death of his wife, 29-year-old Lakeyla Broom who was found dead in her Greenwood, Mississippi when a man called 911 saying that he had been tied up and stabbed.

    Police then found Broom tied up in a bedroom, his wife’s body in another.

    Greenwood Police Chief Ray Moore says authorities believe the crime scene to have been staged.

    Broom moved to the Manhattan area following his wife’s murder.
