BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) - A 30-year-old Binghamton man has been accused of beating to death his former girlfriend in August.
Police say Francis Joseph Rogers was arrested on second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and other charges in the death of 25-year-old Katie Chappell, whose body was found in her apartment on Aug. 13.
Rogers pleaded not guilty to the charges and was being held Friday without bail in the Broome County Jail.
Police tell the Binghamton Press and Sun Bulletin that the couple's relationship was "on-again, off-again" and despite an order of protection she got against Rogers, Chappell was last seen drinking with him the day before she was found dead.
