A Minnesota woman has been charged with the murder of her husband in the southern African nation of Angola last year while the couple and their five children were there on a Christian missionary trip, their church has confirmed.
Beau Shroyer, 44, from Detroit Lakes, was found dead in a vehicle in Thienjo, a town in southern Angola, in October. His wife, Jackie Shroyer, was arrested in connection with the death in November and is accused of forming a murder-for-hire plot.
The family's church, the Lakes Area Vineyard Church, confirmed Monday that she has now been charged as a "co-author" in her husband's murder.
"It saddens me immensely to have to share with you that we were notified that Jackie has been formally charged as a co-author in the murder of her husband," lead pastor Troy M. Eason said in a statement on the church's website.
In a previous statement after her arrest, Easton said: "I’m so sorry and simply do not have words to express my disbelief and sorrow about this news."
