Florence, SC: SC woman pleads not guilty in husband's killing

FLORENCE (AP) -- A South Carolina woman accused of killing her husband after his remains were found five years after he disappeared has pleaded not guilty.

A judge denied bond for 46-year-old Brenda Bratschi on Friday after she entered her plea.

Bratschi was arrested last month after scientists determined bones found under a trailer in July belonged to her husband, 54-year-old Randy Bratschi. He disappeared in November 2004 after leaving his job in Florence.

A month before Randy Bratschi disappeared, police say his wife beat him with a wooden stick. She has not been tried in that case.
