TYLERTOWN, Miss. -- Authorities say a 56-year-old man has been charged with murder after the body of his live-in girlfriend was found shot and stored in a freezer at the couple's home in Jayess.
Robert Wayne Silvia is charged in the death of 52-year-old Darlene Berthelot.
He was arrested Friday in Walthall County and initially taken to jail there. Bond was set at $250,000. A Walthall County Jail employee said Sunday that Silvia had been transferred to the Marion County Jail because of space.
Deputies found Berthelot's body in the freezer Thursday after responding to a call from her daughter, who lives in Washington Parish, La., asking them to check on her.
Walthall County Coroner Shannon Hartzog says Berthelot had been dead about 4 or 5 days before the body was found.
