NOVI, Mich.
A Livingston County man is accused of killing a Wixom woman who was found strangled and buried in a 4-foot grave in northern Lower Michigan.
Forty-nine-year-old Joseph Damian Susalla of Genoa Township was arraigned Tuesday on a charge of first-degree murder.
The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports Susalla is accused of killing 50-year-old Kelly Marie Durberg.
Police say the Wixom woman was found Friday naked and wrapped in plastic in a shallow grave in Crawford County's Beaver Creek Township, about 45 miles east of Traverse City.
Investigators say Susalla and Durberg were dating but had a history of disputes.
Susalla is being held without bond. He requested a court-appointed attorney and will be back in court June 16.
