Roseville, MI: Police: Woman arranged boyfriend's fatal beating

11:40 AM CDT, March 17, 2011

ROSEVILLE, Mich.

Macomb County authorities say a woman asked her brother-in-law and nephew to beat up her boyfriend, an attack that killed him after he was left for 19 hours on the kitchen floor.

Fifty-one-year-old Yvonne Chambers of Roseville, 50-year-old Donald B. Johnston of Eastpointe and 30-year-old Bradley S. Johnston of Warren were charged Wednesday with second-degree murder.

Roseville police Deputy Chief James Berlin says Chambers decided that Gregory Cusson deserved a beating after they argued March 2.

Berlin says Chambers sought help the next day after the 54-year-old Cusson remained unconscious. He was in a coma and died at a hospital a week later.

The three suspects have been jailed on $500,000 bonds. The name of their lawyers weren't immediately known. The next court date is April 20.
