BANGOR, Maine — A local woman has been arrested and charged with murder in the death of her husband, who was found dead at his Ohio Street home on June 13.
Roxanne Jeskey, 48, has been charged in the death of Richard Jeskey. Roxanne Jeskey was arrested shortly before 7 p.m., according to Bangor police Lt. Jeff Millard. She is being held at Penobscot County Jail. Bail conditions and the time and date for her initial court appearance had not yet been set as of late Wednesday night, a jail official said.
Members of Richard Jeskey’s family said they were “shocked and grieved at the loss of our family member” in a statement released by the Police Department.
An autopsy was conducted June 14 at the medical examiner’s office in Augusta.
The medical examiner’s office has not released a cause of death.
Police found Jeskey’s body in his apartment on June 13 and called the death suspicious.
A person police are not identifying called 911 at around 8:35 a.m. June 13 to request an ambulance at the Ledgewood 1 apartment complex at 682 Ohio St., and when rescue crews arrived, they found Jeskey’s body.
Jeskey’s death was the second suspicious death reported in Bangor within a week.
William L. Hall, 29, of Fourth Street was arrested and charged with murder in the June 9 death of Melvin F. Abreu, 28. Hall told police last week that he strangled Abreu and then threw him out of his second story window at 96 Fourth St., according to court documents.

"When Bangor police went to the couple’s Ohio Street apartment on June 13, Richard Jeskey’s body showed signs of trauma to his groin, upper torso, face and head, according to a police affidavit filed Thursday at the Penobscot Judicial Center. The results of an autopsy conducted June 14 at the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Augusta showed that Richard Jeskey suffered extensive multiple blunt and sharp force injuries to the head, neck, torso, and limbs.
“These included nose fractures, loss of an eye, rib fractures, rectal incised wounds, and internal hemmorhage from an instrument(s) pushed through his scrotum into his abdomen,” Bangor police Detective David Bushey wrote in the affidavit. “Further, Mr. Jeskey was strangled with sufficient force to break the hyoid bone of his neck.”
The hyoid bone is the bone at the top of the neck under the chin.
Jeskey admitted that she and her husband had a fight the night of June 12 into the early morning hours of June 13 because of a phone call between Richard Jeskey and his ex-girlfriend, according to the affidavit. About two hours after she called police at 8:29 a.m. June 13, Jeskey admitted that she assaulted her husband “with various weapons including pliers, a box cutter and a plastic baseball bat,” the affidavit said.
