WICHITA, Kan. — Authorities say a man has been arrested in the killing of his 67-year-old mother who was found dead at her Wichita area trailer home.
The Wichita Eagle reports that 42-year-old Kyle Romey was booked into jail Wednesday night on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of Denyce Briet. He is being held in lieu of $500,000 bond. Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter said Thursday that deputies found Briet dead on the floor of the trailer after receiving a 911 call requesting a welfare check.
Easter said it wasn’t clear what led up to the killing but told reporters that Romey had a history of arguments and violence with his family.
